InDesign Copy Linked File Name
This Adobe InDesign script copies the filename of the selected linked image directly to the clipboard — quickly, silently, and without showing alerts.
This script is super handy when you need to quickly grab image filenames — for example, when organizing assets in Excel, file lists, or documentation. If you plan to use it often, consider assigning it to a keyboard shortcut in InDesign for instant access.
📖 Usage
- Select image, pdf, eps, or whatever
- Run the script
Recommended shortcut: CTRL + ALT + C (BUT this will overwrite 'Fit frame to content', which sucks. So maybe find a better shortcut).
InDesign Rapid Frame Filler
These scripts let you instantly resize shapes and image frames to perfectly fill your InDesign pages — with bleed or within margins.”
Recommended shortcuts:
Ctrl + Alt + F → Margin Filler
Ctrl + Alt + D → Full Bleed Filler
📖 Usage
- Select any shape or image frame on your page.
- Run one of the scripts from the Scripts panel (or use your shortcut).
- The frame will automatically resize:
- Margin Filler → fits neatly within your page margins.
- Full Filler → expands to cover the entire page + bleed.
- If the frame contains an image, the content will scale proportionally to fill the frame.
These scripts only auto-fit images placed inside rectangular frames. Placed PDFs will not be resized automatically — the frame will resize, but the content will not scale.
