Question

Can I hire someone towrite an InDesign CS4 script?

We are hoping to hire some one to write an InDesign script for us. My wife publishes a small magazine (approx. 50 pages) in InDesign CS4. When it is time to FTP the finished layout to the printer, they want an Adobe PDF (specific format). No problem...but they need each page saved independently! She is doing this one at a time at this time. Can this be automated to create individual PDF files of each page of the InDesign document? This could save her substantial time and frustration. If someone is interested, please indicate the estimated cost and timeline for such a script.

Be happy to discuss the finer details if price is right. Please email me at rprachun@rogers.com

Sincerely

Ray

I have a similar request.

I need to place multiple A4 portrait page pdfs into A3 landscape InDesign files. The standard scripts available places one A4 on every A3 page of course...

Does anyone know of a script that can intelligently place 2 A4 pdf pages, side by side on an A3 page?

Or, is there someone out there who can write one for me!??

Yours.

You can do this fast & reliable without using a script.

Create a new InDesign document, size A4. Place your PDFs (using the multi-place pdf script, of course, but that doesn't count -- it's practically part of the package). Set page numbering to start at 2. Export as spreads.

Hi Jongware. Thanks for the idea, but I have A3 landscape masterpage items to keep in mind. With blank pages it would work.

This will probably do what you need:

Hello Harbs. Just wanted to thank you for the help on this question. I downloaded the script and it works perfectly!! Sincere thanks from both Penny and myself. This will save her a great deal of tedious and repetative work.

Hi

I know Harbs has answered this already, but another option could be to make a complete PDF, and using Acrobat Pro use the extract pages option. One of the options you have is save each as individual page.

Just a thought.

Cheers

Roy
