      Here is my scenario, I have a bunch of links that I need to switch out. The files (AI) are the same but fonts are turned to outlines. The new files have the same name but have _acc at the end before the .ai extension. Surely someone has made a script to do this?

      OR create a new folder “outlines” move your”__acc” files there, then remove this “acc” part and simple relink to this new folder ;)

        I did think of this, my problem with it is the packaging of the files. When we give the files to the client there will be 2 versions, one accessible working file and one that is not. To save on room and upload times we usually have one links folder which would be a problem if the outlined files are the same name. The 2 scripts mentioned by David look promising, neither are able to relink to an altered name.

      I like Lukáš’s idea. Two articles to look at:
