I hope that somebody will be able to help me. I am a photographer just trying to break into school photography and I want to create a master page in InDesign CS and then import a folder of photographs into a picture box and also have CS put the filename into a text box on the page too. Once one picture is imported I want a new page to be created and the next picture imported.
The aim is to be able to print the pages out and give to the parents to order.
I hope someone can help as I am a complete novice at scripting.
Many thanks in advance.
If you don’t get any takers here, you might try posting on http://MacDeveloper.net. You can post your project there and developers will bid on it.
Are you looking for direct help building a script, or willing to pay for a commercial app? I have “InDesign Image Catalog” that will do just what you want. Since I sell that I can’t say I will give out scripting help with that, but that sort of info is available here or on other forums. Go to http://chris.paveglio.com to check out IDIC.

Sorry I haven’t replied earlier. I have found a script that will name pictures in a file, so I can use this to put the name under the pictures. I would be interested to know how much someone would charge to write a script to actually do as I asked in the first post, where I have a master page set up and Indesign would import all the photo’s in a given folder, reduce to fit in the space left for the image and then place the file name underneath and then create a new page and import the next pic in.
