I have 111 NEW open documents in Indesign and I want to save and close them all in the same location, but since these are new files, after each one you have to hit enter to save in that location. Is there a script to save as new and then close in a batch?

**cmnd + opt + shift + S/W doesnt work because these are New files, that function works if its ReSaving documents

Scripting

The files need a name, but something like this should work. You can change adoc to whatever filename you want to prepend.

var docs = app.documents;
var fol = Folder.selectDialog("Choose the folder to save to");
var i = docs.length;
while(i--) {
    docs[i].saveAs(File(fol + "/adoc_" + i));
    docs[i].close(SaveOptions.NO);
}
