Hello,
I just got a new customer who translates japanese comics. He sends me b/w tif-scans of each page of a comic book, and I superimpose the translated text over these tifs.
What I'm wondering: can someone tell me how to write a script that imorts tiffs out of a folder and creates a document in which these tiffs are placed centerd one each page? That would mean, if I have 200 tifs, the document would have 200 separate pages...
It would save me a HUGE amount of work, because up to now I haven't come up with a better idea than to copy and paste each picture by hand... at 400 pages per comic, thats a whole lot of wasted time :-)

Be glad for any help or tip!
