Hi, I am working with an INDD file with several pages and I need to export only one page with the two presets. Is this possible with this script to add that code in? Thanks!

this works for the two folder 1 pdf in each (high res folder and low res folder)

d = app.activeDocument;
preset1 = app.pdfExportPresets.itemByName(“press spreads and crops”);
preset2 = app.pdfExportPresets.itemByName(“smallest size_spreads”);
if (!(preset1.isValid && preset2.isValid)){
alert(“One of the presets does not exist. Please check spelling carefully.”);
exit();
}

mDocName = d.name.substr (0, d.name.lastIndexOf(‘.’));
mSourcePath = d.fullName.parent.toString();
mRootPath =mSourcePath.substr (0, mSourcePath.lastIndexOf(‘/’));
mTargetPath=mRootPath.concat(‘/Final_Art/LowRes_PDF_Final/’);
mNameWeb= mTargetPath.concat(mDocName,’_LOW.pdf’);

mTargetPath=mRootPath.concat(‘/Final_Art/Print_PDF/’);
mNamePrint = mTargetPath.concat(mDocName,’.pdf’);

if (!d.saved){
d.save;
}

d.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, new File(mNamePrint), false, preset1);
d.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, new File(mNameWeb), false, preset2);

Hello Rahul!

please confirm you document is saved on the top level of the Final_Art folder, the folder Final_Collect_Printer should be a sub folder of the “Project folder” and the folders LowRes_PDF_Final
and Print_PDF should be sub folders of Final_Collect_Printer.

I made a few changes so you can try this…….

d = app.activeDocument;
preset1 = app.pdfExportPresets.itemByName(“[PDF/X-1a:2001]”);
preset2 = app.pdfExportPresets.itemByName(“[Smallest File Size]”);
if (!(preset1.isValid && preset2.isValid)){
alert(“One of the presets does not exist. Please check spelling carefully.”);
exit();
}
mDocName = d.name.substr (0, d.name.lastIndexOf(‘.’));
mSourcePath = d.fullName.parent.toString();
mRootPath =mSourcePath.substr (0, mSourcePath.lastIndexOf(‘/’));
mTargetPath=mRootPath.concat(‘/Final_Collect_Printer/LowRes_PDF_Final/’);
mNameWeb= mTargetPath.concat(mDocName,’_LOW.pdf’);
}
mTargetPath=mRootPath.concat(‘/Final_Collect_Printer/Print_PDF/’);
mNamePrint = mTargetPath.concat(mDocName,’.pdf’);
}
if (!d.saved){
d.save;
}
d.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, new File(mNamePrint), false, preset1);
d.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, new File(mNameWeb), false, preset2);

Is it possible to export single page pdf with the two presets and two locations instead of the entire INDD file? For example, only exporting page 3 of a 6 page document? Thanks!

ok, I need a bit more help on this…

how do you make an if/then concept

if the folder specified in the script exist then proceed as normal
If not the folder exist throw up a dialog stating the folder does not exist and give the user a save dialog box where they are able to navigate to the folder manually

i am going to give this script to about 6 designers i work with and don’t want them coming to me if it just hard errors on them

Hello! A few questions as I’m trying to modify this code for my own use.

– Is there a way to change the file output file names so there is a prefix at the beginning rather than a suffix and the end? I’ve tried the following:
name2 = “prefix-“+thePath+”.pdf”;
but I get an error message indicating that it’s trying to save to a folder named “prefix” instead of adding the string to the beginning of the file name.

– This may be beyond the scope of this script, but could it be modified to extract each page in a document individually?
