Export Part of InDesign File as a Pdf

New Here ,
May 02, 2018 May 02, 2018

I have a 100+ page InDesign document. I only need to create a pdf of part of it. When I go to the Export Adobe PDF window, the range field does not allow me to insert a page range. I can only export the entire document. I'm new to CC. Older versions provided a range. Am I missing something here?

Any help will be appreciated.

If your Range field is defaulting to All Pages or an alternate layout name, triple click the field and you will be able to enter any range.

Also, if your document has multiple sections the Preferences>General>Page Numbering will affect the page range.

No luck on the triple clicking or Preference suggestion. Still can't enter a range.

Click RANGE, then select whatever will be on the right - "All pages" or anything else - and type your page numbers. 

 

This is a so called "combo box" - it's a drop down list and editable text box - 2in1.
