too lazy to download a copy of indesign and play around with
it?
this is what i could locate in one .indd file i created:

several thing you can get from above:
1) it uses Adobe XMP. more info a nd lots of resources here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/xmp/
2)as you can see above, i have placed a .gif and a .jpg file
into the
document.
what you can't see is that i have also place a .tif image in
it. no
entry for the .tf image was created above. this makes me
believe that a
lot depends on what type of file is linked into the indesign
document,
and you may not be able to get all linked files from the
.indd file.
download a trial copy of indesign and play with it to see
what linked
content you can extract and what you can't.
