Batch export multiple file types

[Braden5F8B]

I have a script that allows me to save my indd file as both indd and idml. I want to add indt to the file types. For idml I used "ExportFormat.INDESIGN_MARKUP", but cannot find the method name for indt anywhere online. INDESIGN_TEMPLATE was my only guess and it did not work. Any ideas?

[Braden5F8B]

Solved. For anybody else looking, use INDESIGN_MARKUP for indt as well.

Technically, you can do this with any batch file renaming app, including Adobe Bridge. I believe a template is simply a regular file that opens up as an untitled document due to the file extension.

Exactly.

Hi BradenSF8B,

note, that methods save() and saveACopy() both have the second argument "stationary".

The default value of this second argument is false. But if you set it to true you get what you want like that:

var doc = app.documents[0];
var templateName = doc.name.replace(/\.indd$/i,"");

var newFile = File( "~/Desktop/" + templateName +".indt" );

doc.saveACopy
(
	newFile ,
	true
);

See DOM documentation:
