Do any of you know of a script that allows the user to make a contact sheet? I have hundreds, possibly thousands, of photos that need to be put into a photo library for a client. The catch is that the photo library must be in ID in some way, located within their existing technical munual which we have created for them.

The photos are currently not in a database of any kind but are simply in a bunch folders, in groups of about 50 photos per folder.

My current method of making these contact sheets is to pour the photos into iPhoto, then PDF the album, and then place the PDF page by page into ID. I know there has to be a better and faster way than that. Thanks in advance to those of you who can help.
