Reply To: How to place linked images automagically?

While I’m sure Kai could do an awesome script, there may be off-the-shelf options that could help. For example, if the ISBN numbers showed up in a text frame, you could perhaps use this:

Another option is to use Data Merge, though that really depends on the kind of document you want.

Ultimately, a custom script is always the most efficient and personalized option.
