Find embedded images

This is not my script, but I find it really handy! It searches through all links in document and finds just embedded links and push them into Array.

var doc = app.activeDocument;
var graphics = doc.allGraphics;
var embeddedGraphics = [];
for (var i = 0; i < graphics.length; i++) {
     if (graphics[i].itemLink.status == LinkStatus.LINK_EMBEDDED) {
          embeddedGraphics.push(graphics[i]);
     }
}
alert(embeddedGraphics.length + " embedded images were found");

When you have links in embeddedGraphics you can for example extract page number from link like this:

alert(embeddedGraphics[0].parent.parent.name);

Or link name:

alert(embeddedGraphics[0].itemLink.name);

Or effective ppi:

alert(embeddedGraphics[0].effectivePpi);
