Hi Guys
I am wanting to export multiple pages of a INDD file to JPG and name the files based on a caption generated from the image on each page. (the caption appears in the slug area. Previously we have been doing this manually. We do Team and Portrait Photography, there is the option to use 'Sports Photo Automation' but this would leave me with much larger file sizes. I have seen a couple of posts relating to this but they don't seem to be specific enough and i am no scripter.
Thanks for any advice, apologies if this has been answered before.

if (app.documents.length != 0){
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
MakeJPEGfile();
} else {
alert("Please open a document and try again.");
}
function myPS() {
try {
return myDoc.selection[0].appliedParagraphStyle;
} catch (e) {
alert("Place cursor to text with paragraph style for filenames");
exit();
}
}
function MakeJPEGfile() {
app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegQuality = JPEGOptionsQuality.high;
app.jpegExportPreferences.exportResolution = 72;
app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegExportRange = ExportRangeOrAllPages.exportR

I suppose what I am asking for is if there is an opportunity to 'use unique names'. I have found a work around but its clumsy. I export the below trading cards as spreads for public viewing but need them as singles for production / imposition. It would be handy if on export the script just put a (2) after the filename rather than over write.
