Change Links

The script is intended to replace the links to images of the .indd document to files with identical names from selected folder.

Main tasks:
1) replace the missing files of the non-standard package publication, including interconnection transfer projects like "Windows to Mac OS" or from "Mac OS to Windows";
2) the substitution of the preliminary document's images to the processed files with unchanged proportions of the height and width (without the “Crop Image” and changes “Canvas Size”).

In the element's parentheses of the dialog indicates the number of found objects of this type.
When launched need select a folder which contains the files that are intended to replace in the document.

Implemented:
• choice of language when you first start: Russian or English (full support of the Russian language is available only for OS Windows)
• extraction of embedded image files of the document;
• step by step relink image mode;
• check the attribute «nonprinting»;
• search for types of document images;
• search for files extensions in the selected folder;
• verification of image rotation ± 90° relative to the source;
• «Unlock Position» for groups and objects to the replacement of files;
• save the settings and selected folder path in the ini-file (created when you first run the script).

When relink:
1) stored the geometric coordinates of images (Geometric Bounds), if not choosed settings «Center Content», «Scale 100%» or «Angles 0°»;

preservation of «Geometric Bounds» (top left and bottom right points) of the original image is intended to replace the links to images with unchanged proportions of the height and width (without crop - «Crop Image» and resizing - «Canvas Size»);
2) ignored:
• files with duplicate names (with the extension) - when you change the type of files «identical», without an extension - with the replacement for the selected type, with different file paths;
• outside pages images (PB);
• images placed from the clipboard (without link).
