Can I stop InDesign from adding " Folder" to my packaged folder names?

I package every job I do in InDesign. Every time I do, InDesign adds a space followed by the word Folder to the name of the packaged folder in my job. I have to delete it EVERY time. Is there a script or a way to stop InDesign from adding this to the final packaged folder name?

It would have to be done with a script. There are no built-in controls for changing that feature.

Hi Mary,

 

Sorry to hear about your experience. In addition to Steve's correct response, I'd request sharing a feature request in this regard on Adobe InDesign UserVoice(https://indesign.uservoice.com/). This forum is monitored by product team and they might look into it in future releases.

 

Regards,

Ashutosh

      I agree with Steve. In fact, a script can be downloaded from Keith Gilbert's website (look for the word PACKAGE) - http://www.gilbertconsulting.com/resources-scripts.html - make your own folder and it packages without making a folder of its own

      If the answer wasn't in my post, perhaps it might be on my blog at colecandoo!

        Unfortunately, this is not what she was asking. I have the same issue as Mary. When I package InDesign creates the word "Folder" in the title of the folder it's is creating. I have to delete that word from the folder name every time. It's pretty annoying when you are packaging dozens of files. Is there a script that removes the word "Folder" from the title when you package? In addition, that script on Keith's website doesn't even do the same thing that you said it would.
