Hello Everyone,

I'm a complete and total newbie to scripting so please excuse my lack
of knowledge.

I need to create 1500 image files from one large image. I have an eps
placed in an inDesign page that is the size of all the individual
images I need.

What I would love to do is export as file1.pdf, move the contents of
the image frame -150 on x axis, export as file2.pdf, move the contents
of the image frame -150 on x axis, export as file3.pdf ... etc to end
of row, then move back to start y axis -100 export as file51.pdf ...
continue in rows of 50 until I've taken snapshots of all the areas of
the image.

Any and all help greatly appreciated.
Joe
