• Function saveImage is defined but not executed. Use `await saveImage()` to execute it

• Change the export image type 'JPG' passed to exportFile to ExportFormat.JPG or 1246775072. ExportFormat must be required by yourself

const { app, ExportFormat } = require('indesign') ;

• You have to specify a destination path for exportFile

const os = require('os') ;
const dstFolder = path.join(os.homedir(), 'Desktop') ;
imageCopy.exportFile(ExportFormat.JPG, path.join(dstFolder, 'sample.jpg')) ;
