The users copies and pastes an image from Photoshop into InDesign so there is no path to an image, it is embedded within the file. Is there any means to export/save/move that image using AppleScript? I can get the properties of the image but I can’t seem to get the image itself.
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
tell front document
set graphiclist to all graphics of page 3
repeat with g from 1 to count of every item of graphiclist
set thisimage to item g of graphiclist
return properties of thisimage
end repeat
end tell
end tell
