I have a script written that gives you single pages by range and adds the numerical digits at the end of the name. You can also name at time of using the script, I need it written in Javascript so I can use it on the PC. I also have a Quark one if anyone wants to tackle writing it in Javascript from Applescript as I do not know how.

Thanks,

Greg

Actually we have used that in our prepress department, which we are a commercial printer and we had some horrible things with it. It changed the resolution on images that had zip compression to LoRes. When the book was printed we were informed from the customer and they wanted to know what went wrong. We exported the same page from InDesign to PDF and it was fine so needless to say we do not use this anymore. My script  uses your existing export from your joboptions in InDesign so it is exactly the same. You can change it by editing the script within InDesign Scripts and just change the text to whatever your preset is called ex: "Prinergy" , "Rampage",  "PDF-X1A".

Now I see the problem. I attached a script that comes with ID scripting guide. This is not exactly what you need since it exports files using the current PDF export settings. But a PDF preset can be set explicitly in the script. I can do this later, if this script is what you need (I'm busy with work right now).

Do you want to export directly from ID, or via Distiller?
