Hi, all,
I appreciate I'm asking for help with someone else's script but I've been trying for hours to get it to loop through all open docs without having the input dialog pop up each time. I feel I'm nearly there with it but it exports the one file then hangs (InDesign is not responsive).
If it's easy, please would you kindly guide me and put me out of my misery. Thank you in advance if you're able to help.
