My company maintains an intranet location which utilizes Frontpage. This
site maintains individual PDF files indexed by a distinct ID. End users scan
in the necessary paperwork, the PDF is sent to a separate directory, and
then, end users link the image to Frontpage for view on the web location.

This process is time consuming as users are linking the image to the web one
document at a time. How can we link images to the web location en masse -
doing a couple hundred images (each with separate ID numbers) at once.
 
I would probably write an ASP.NET or ASP page that reads the directory where
the PDF files reside and displays a link for each file. If there are a lot of
files and there's some structure to the file names, I might set up some sort
of drill-down.

With this kind of approach, it's usually possible to save the document
creators from using FrontPage at all. They just dump their dolcuments into
some file share or FTP location, and the Web page links show up automatically.
