Data Merge export to single pdf and auto naming

Hi,

You may want to try two scripts I wrote :

Export single PDFs file :

http://www.scriptopedia.org/index.php?post/custompdfexport.jsx.html

use some csv row to rename a bunch of pdf files accordingly:

var csv=File(Folder.desktop+"/fichier.csv");

var myPDFFolder = Folder(Folder.desktop+"/pdfs");

var names = getNamesFromCSV(csv);

if(csv.exists && myPDFFolder.exists){
    var files = myPDFFolder.getFiles();
    if(files.length==names.length){
        for(var i=0; i<files.length; i++){
            files[i].rename(files[i].parent+"/"+names[i]+".pdf");
        }
    }
}
        
function getNamesFromCSV(csv){
    if(csv.exists){
        csv.open('r');
        var content = csv.read();
        var namesArr = [];
        content=content.split("\n");
        for(var j=0; j<content.length; j++){
            namesArr.push(content[j].match(/^(.[^\n]+)/i)[1]);
        }
            
        csv.close();
        return namesArr.slice(1,namesArr.length);
    }
    return false;
}

This code was intented to use the first row item as the basis for renaming the PDF files. Adapt it to your own needs.

Hope it helps,
