Hi,
We have 1,000's of InDesign Files in 100's of directories that we need to search. We have an EPS file of a CEO's Signature that is used (Linked and Embedded) in some of those InDesign files. Is there a way to search (without opening) those files for all of them that are using that EPS?
If not I can only thing that we will just have to open each one and see if the EPS is used in it and replace as needed. It would be nice to be able to either start with a list of files that are known or maybe even do a programmatic replacement of the EPS in mass.
Just modify/replace the eps file and on open Indesign will ask you if you want to update the link.
With the embedded file, you can use the script from here: http://indisnip.wordpress.com/2011/02/21/easy-way-to-unembed-all-embedded-links/ to unembed all links from your indesign documents, then replace the eps.
HTH,
Dan
