Question

Help to export pages with QR code (with QRcode IDs as the file names)?

I have 10 pages with 10 QRcodes taken from a .csv file via merged document.

The first 3 QRcode IDs are random ids:


l3tul1cb0s

6jmb0akpsm

ledfgpsddh


Currently when I export the images as pngs, I get 01.png, 02.png, 03.png etc...

Is it possible to export each page with the QR code as the filename? So I will end up with:

l3tul1cb0s.png

6jmb0akpsm.png

ledfgpsddh.png


I am new to scripting for Indesign, but I guess I am in the right place to ask.

Personally, for just 10 png, I'ld do it manually!

But as you seem to want to take time to learn scripting …

Thanks for the link Michel,

I will be producing thousands of QR codes, so manually will not work for me. The 10 is just for a sample.

I have a free script from my website that I think will assist you. Watch a video of the script in action here: Episode 11: Data Merge Colored QR Code Script - YouTube

If the answer wasn't in my post, perhaps it might be on my blog at colecandoo!
