Hey Chris,
I think, that the information of the images get lost while producing the PS...
First of all, did I get You right, that the postscripts are produced by You? So that means, You know the image-names before creating the Postscript?
If so, You could try opening either the PS or the PDF within textedit or BB-Edit (depending on the File Size, textedit could take very long to open...) and do a text search for one of the image-names. if either in Postscript or in PDF You could find a name, I would be proven wrong, but I would think, names go off while printing in PS...
Maybe You should do it before out of the Layout-Program? Could be small, I guess.


Just a thought...

Hey all,

We are an independent newspaper and I am trying to come up with a way to do some in house image tracking. We save the PostScripts of output every day and I was wondering that if I turned them into PDF's would there be some way to find out what either the filename of an image is or the title inside of the image is.

For example. I downloaded and converted the PS into a PDF on my desktop. Opened the new PDF and got image properties from an image. It shows me the title of the image. i go to "Export All Images" inside Acrobat 6 (on a mac) and export all the images. I then open the image in Photoshop CS 2 and try getting the info from them, not there. I tried importing the images directly into PS CS2 and still, no image info is carried over.

Does anybody know of a way to get the image info (specifically title) as a batch process? Ultimately I would a want to get it in a text file / list format so I could script some comparison scripts to see which images are actually used.

    Any help in getting this initial info is appreciated!


Chris
