create Seperate PDF Files opens a window every time I need it to stop

[bagonterman]

I am wondering if this is possible. I don't want the window to automatically open when I export the pdf's...

I am automating and this would create so many windows in the system.

Any ideas on how I could get this to stop?

Hi,

what window do you mean? Does your pdf viewer opens every pdf after its creation?

To change this use this:

app.pdfExportPreferences.viewPDF = false;

Hi bagonterman ,

does "opens a window" mean that you are seeing a new window of a folder in the file system showing the exported PDF ?

If so you are using method execute() on the parent of the File that is constructed for the export method.

I did mean that. I got around this by not exporting that way. And instead just exported multiple times.

I completely do not understand this. Could elaborate?

  app.interactivePDFExportPreferences.usePDFStructureForTabOrder;

   app.interactivePDFExportPreferences.exportAsSinglePages = true;

   app.interactivePDFExportPreferences.rasterResolution = RasterResolutionOptions.NINETY_SIX_PPI;

   app.interactivePDFExportPreferences.pdfMagnification = PdfMagnificationOptions.FIT_VISIBLE;

   app.interactivePDFExportPreferences.viewPDF = false;

   try {

   doc.exportFile("Adobe PDF (Interactive)", filePath + "/" + job_Num + dataGrade + ".pdf", false);

  }

   catch (err) { $.writeln(err) }

This changed to this.

app.interactivePDFExportPreferences.usePDFStructureForTabOrder;

   app.interactivePDFExportPreferences.exportAsSinglePages = false;/////exports multiple pages but opens a window by default.

   app.interactivePDFExportPreferences.rasterResolution = RasterResolutionOptions.NINETY_SIX_PPI;

   app.interactivePDFExportPreferences.pageRange = "1-1";

   app.interactivePDFExportPreferences.viewPDF = false;

   app.interactivePDFExportPreferences.pdfMagnification = PdfMagnificationOptions.FIT_VISIBLE

   try {

   doc.exportFile("Adobe PDF (Interactive)", filePath + "/" + job_Num + property + "_interactive" + ".pdf", false);

  }

   catch (err) { $.writeln(err) }

   app.interactivePDFExportPreferences.pageRange = "2-2";

   try {

   doc.exportFile("Adobe PDF (Interactive)", filePath + "/" + job_Num + property + "_print" + ".pdf", false);

  }

   catch (err) { $.writeln(err) }

Hi bagonterman ,

see into the first argument of exportFile().

For exporting PDF Interactive you'd better use the enumerator: 

ExportFormat.INTERACTIVE_PDF or its corresponding enumeration number 1952409936 .

Adobe InDesign CS6 (8.0) Object Model JS: Document

Adobe InDesign CS6 (8.0) Object Model JS: ExportFormat

If that is not working try method asynchronousExportFile() where you can also define ExportFormat.INTERACTIVE_PDF as first argument:

Adobe InDesign CS6 (8.0) Object Model JS: Document

Check the object model. The document.exportFile() function has a parameter to suppress the PDF export dialog:

exportFile (format, to, showingOptions, using versionComments, forceSave)

So you would use false as the third parameter.
