Hi Help Tutor,

loop through the allGraphicArray of the document, duplicate the parent of the found graphics (that's the frame holding the graphic), calculate width and height of the duplicated frames and export the duplicated frame. Write the calculated dimensions to the metadata of the exported file perhaps. Then remove the duplicate.

Question is what kind of export you'd like to use for the graphic frames.

PDF?

IDMS?

Regards,
Uwe

Hi Laubender,

Thanks for your reply.

I don't have any knowledge in programming languages, Please give an easy way (like indesign script) to export images in JPG or png formats from adobe indesign.

For Example:

This is an original image (Image 1)

animal2.jpg

But Indesign document, I placed this image like below (Image 2)

sparrow.png

If I make package from indesign, Iin links folder original full size image is there. But I need the  "image 2".

NOTE: Whole document images I need like this, Please give any tricks.

Hi Karthik,

This link is very useful. Thanks for your help.

But this script only exports the excel file about the image details (Name, Width, Height, Page Number, X Pos, Y Pos, DPI).

I need to export images.

Hi Karthik,

Thanks a lot.

But Please understand my concept.

Original  Image:

bv.jpg

After placing in indesign, I will manually do fitting options like below

juice.png

In my Indesign document I made like this formatting approximately 30 images. When I will do package, in the links folder contain only original image. That manual fitting option image not exported. But I need the second one (Manual fitting image).

Anyone please help me! To finish my project.
