I'm working on a booklet project where the "powers that be" have decided that all the names of the linked files need to be changed to reflect a new naming convention. Of course there are several dozen links, many of them appearing multiple times through the booklet. I have no problem with doing the renaming and then updating the links in the document, but I'm concerned that when I do this the links may not update at the same scale. To make matters a little worse, I didn't create the ID file, and I don't know if the frames are sized exactly for the images. I'm thinking there might be a relatively easy scripting solution with a pair of scripts, the first which could be run before relinking which would make all image frames "fit to content" and a second script to run after relinking to make all frames "fit content proportionally." If this is as simple as that, would one of you be willing to write the scripts in js for ID3? Thanks, Peter
