The problem is, I can't batch rename because the names are descriptive, like us_2_0_1_multiship_chooseaddress.jpg, us_2_0_2_multiship_chooseshipping.jpg. The names describe the content. So I think it's best to split up the doc, give each INDD page/file a name, and that way, when I make revisions and export new jpgs, I won't have to name them each time. The extensions you guys suggested are working well.
David: do you know who taught me about batching and automation? My old boss Ben Ko, do you remember him? I think you used to work with us at Electronic Publishing Services, a textbook packager. “Back in the day.” Quark, Autopage, etc. We used to spend a LOT of time figuring out how to automate something. Probably longer than the actual work would have taken.
