Export pages of Indesign document to individual PDFs named with placed image

https://www.marspremedia.com/software/indesign/export-named-pages

Hello @bethl85705656,

I wrote an update to the script to export PDFx4 pdf's per you're request.

Note: the script will export the pdf's to a folder named "PDF" at the same root level as the InDesign document, there's no need to create the folder, as the script will if it doesn't exists.

var doc = app.activeDocument;
var docPages = doc.pages;
var PDF_Folder = Folder(doc.filePath + '/PDF');

if (!PDF_Folder.exists) {
    PDF_Folder.create(); 
  }

var export_preset = app.pdfExportPresets.item("[PDF/X-4:2008]");

if (!(export_preset.isValid)){
    alert("The pdf export preset does not exist.");
    exit();
  }

for(p=0;p<docPages.length;p++){

var myPageItems = docPages[p].allPageItems
var myPageName = docPages[p].name;

for(i=0;i<myPageItems.length;i++){

//set selection as variable
var thisItem = myPageItems[i];
if(thisItem instanceof Rectangle || thisItem instanceof Polygon || thisItem instanceof Oval){

//get image within the frame
var myLinkedItem = thisItem.pageItems[0];
//get name of the linked image
var myLinkName = myLinkedItem.itemLink.name;

//strip extension from linked image name
var myLinkName = myLinkName.split('.')[0];

//export the pdfs
app.pdfExportPreferences.pageRange = doc.pages[p].name;
doc.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, File(PDF_Folder + "/" + myLinkName + ".pdf"), false, export_preset);
    }
  }
}
alert("Done exporting PDF's!")

Regards,

Mike
