How can I detect which pages of a PDF have missing link boxes?

Hello everyone

We're doing this variable job that grabs company logos. We end up with a 300+ page PDF and have to manually check each page to make sure all logos are present. It seems like a fairly easy thing to do in Pitstop but when trying to grab the missing image frame for a visual check it says not enough object information. When I try looking for objects with the exact resolution and image size it doesn't find it either. I even built a flow to sort by file size and while that puts the problem pages within at least the first 10 of the document, it's not the best fix.

Are you able to supply a sample file?

Wow, I must have left out Log Selection the first time I tried that. Thank you so much! :)
