Is there an existing script or a way to hide certain layers in and INDD and export a print ready PDF with crops? Ideally the export could go to a specific folder or directory.

Would it always be the same layers? Or based on some condition(s)?

 

What with the naming of the PDFs? 

 

My ID-Tasker tool can do it easily - but isn't free and PC only.

 

It could also automatically upload to an FTP server - if you need.

Hiding labels has come up numerous times in the past, when you do a search they'll come up. And exporting PDF with crop marks, too, has been dealt with a lot. You'll probably find two scripts, just run them one after the other.

It might be doable - can you give all the details of what it is you need to do?
