Diable window from opening when using create Seperate PDF Files

[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.

I'm not certain I know what you mean, but if it's each PDF opening in Acrobat (or Reader) as it is exported, un-tick the View PDF after Saving option, and it should stick that way for future saves/exports.

As shown in the screenshot, in InDesign, when you choose the option to Create Separate PDF Files, the option View PDF after Exporting is unavailable (grayed out), so no windows will open automatically.

I am sorry for any confusion. I am setting

app.interactivePDFExportPreferences.viewPDF=false;

And the PDF does not open. That is true. However an operating window does open to the directory of the pdf. I do not want that.

Hi bagonterman ,

so you are using a script to export to PDF?

Check if the parent of the File you are creating will be executed.

That would open the the folder of the exported PDF file in the file system.
