}());

1. Copy the code text to the clipboard
2. Open a new blank file in a plain-text editor (not in a word processor)
3. Paste the code in
4. Save as a plain text format file – .txt
5. Rename the saved file extension from .txt to .jsx
6. Install or browse to the .jsx file to run (see below):

Thank you a lot for this tip, unfortunately, it won't give me much control over the export itself. I need X3... yes yes I know it would be in InDesign... but well the plan was different at the beginning 😉

Where? I don't see it...

happy to reach here in 2023 ☺ The feature to print separately is there.

You help a brother

thanks a lot
