I don’t think you understand the size of your task. You can’t get help in a forum, a few lines to copy/paste. It is a job for an experienced programmer.

It is for you to develop the algorithm. Plate optimization is a high end prepress task, and products command a high price.

1. Define your GENERAL rules. For example, will you allow images to be reordered? Will you allow them to be scaled? Will you take action to avoid white space, and what action?

2. Make the rules exact. For example, what is the maximum and minimum scale?

3. Work out your algorithm in all details. Be aware that in general this is the sort of tool that photo book publishers have invested years of programming and millions of dollars to create.

4. Implement the algorithm in code.

Do not be tempted to skip a step because it seems hard.

I work in the newspaper.I have several(example : 30 number) text frames and image in different sizes in separate indd files.

I want an algorithm to put all the files in a file.Optimize the minimum free space(white space).

For more details:

The dimensions of each image or textframe are composed of a frame 2*5.In the image below.

The picture below is a sample of the output.

pleas help me.
