Hi all, got a friend with a printshop who's scanning in a book on a big 'ole Canon Imagerunner 3200N. Last time they did this, the nutcases took the *.wmf file the scanner generated and manually cut and pasted each image into Pagemaker (Yeah, I know, 30,000 dollar printer/scanner and it doesn't even do as much ocr as their $200 dollar scanjet). Well, they've got inDesign, which seems to have better scripting facilities than Pagemaker. All I'm really looking to do for them is take that 500+ page wmf the Canon spits out and dump it into inDesign, one image per page, and save my pal a little work (ok, a lot of work). This'll be a temp solution while their Canon rep sells them the ocr software he should have sold them in the first place. I'm pretty sure I can parse the wmf file into 500 separate wmf's if need be, so each can then be imported one at a time, but I'm just not sure how to do that with the program. Do I even need a script for this? I couldn't find a strait up import filter to just bring in the wmf... TIA :).
