Jason Deal wants to change a bunch of image references in FrameMaker in a batch mode...

Go to www.frameusers.com and check the tools section. There is a tool by CUD (Chris D.) that can search across a book and replace references for you. It works a lot like IXGen in that regard. Chris' Booklooker tool is exactly what you want and is easy to use. (It also can change other types of references, too!)

However, I don't know that know that you *really* need to replace your bitmaps with PNGs or Gifs. Have you considered tweaking your compression settings in Distiller? I'd look there before I batch converted all of the images and changed their references in FrameMaker.
