Kenneth,

Looking in the dictionary for InDesign CS, the documents class has an 'all graphics' property. I do not know if ID 2.0.1 has a similar dictionary- you can check.

Can someone please shoot me a snippet that will return the path of all
graphics used in an InDesign document? I've tried several things with no
usable results so far.
tell application "InDesign 2.0.1"
set myDocument to document 1

set myFoundItems to all graphics of myDocument
-- return myFoundItems

set myPageItems to page items of myDocument <-- works

--return myPageItems
end tell

I used a sample document that shipped with InDesign CS. This will be a list with items like this:

image id 35671 of rectangle id 25389 of page id 119 of spread id 114 of document "Adobe History.indd" of application "InDesign CS"

Looping through all the graphics in the document while extracting the graphic id yields a list of the ids.

tell application "InDesign CS"
set myDocument to document 1
set myFoundItems to all graphics of myDocument
end tell
