I have single pages with no spreads and when i try to export certain pages only i dont see an option to do so. The only option is "all pages". Any idea why?

Hi @ramirog:

 

Remove the words All pages and type in the desired page range. Use a hyphen between consecutive pages, and a comma between non-consecutive pages.

    I blame this confusion on a UI change made in InDesign years ago. Suddenly, editable text fields became indistinguishable from non-editable popup menus:

     

     

    This is a glaring violation of basic UI rules.

     

    I actually reported this back then, and an Adobe rep acknowledged the issue and mentioned that they're aware of this. Obviously, nothing has ever been done to fix this.

      I agree, it's confusing, @leo.r!
