I have 160 page size images I would like to import into Indesign.
Anyone know how to do this?
They are ordered numerically via filename.

import image 1
import image 2
import image 3...etc

well... you can make a 160 page document, zoom out to like 10%, select all the images in your place dialogue box at once, then click each page in order... (if you go ahead and draw an image box on each page, it will help them be in the right position)
I haven't found a way to totally automate it. There are some scripts available that may be able to do what you want, but you'll probably spend more time learning to use them than you would just placing the images.

I meant automated - I understand how to import JPG's individually. They are the exact size of the document so if I can do it automatically there will be no adjustments.
I am pulling from a PDF, so it could be PDF to InDesign import as well.

Do it 20 at a time or so.
1. Make 20 new pages.
2. Place the images. When you go into the Place dialog, you can select more than one image at a time. They'll all get loaded into your cursor and you can place them one by one.

it will only take about 20mins - by the time you have automated it you would have done it lol

i think your best option is to place > select all > and then go clicking on each page, one at the time, releasing the images on each one.

Could you do it with Bridge?
You can use it to create contact sheets of images in a folder straight into ID. I think you can set up your own templates so maybe you could set up a template which is just one full size picture, it would then have to generate a 160 page document.
I've no idea if there's any milage in that but it might be worth a look.

there is a script that places each page of a pdf in a new page. PDF only I think though
