I also need to be able to select items on different spreads at the same time. I am working on a reprint of a book for my publisher. It is an old book that we’ve lost the original files for. As a quick solution we’re scanning the whole book.
I have scanned all 415 pages, and am using an image box on each master page of a facing pages document. I am using object styles to automate exact positioning of each image in the image boxes. When I do File>Place and select multiple scans at a time, I then click and place each image in its correct page and image box that already has the object style applied ahead of time. However the object style is not fully enforced, so I have to click on each individual image box and clear overrides.
I’m using 2 different object styles, one for left page and one for right page. With 415 pages it would be nice if I could select all left page image boxes and clear overrides for all at once. Then do the same with right side pages. I’ve assigned shortcuts to both styles, but still it’s going to entail 415 click and shortcut combinations to get all the pages to look right.
Any developments on this front in the last year or so?
