How to export pages as a spread in PDF ?

This works for me:

app.pdfExportPreferences.pageRange = PageRange.ALL_PAGES;
app.pdfExportPreferences.exportReaderSpreads = true;
myPdf = File (...)
app.documents[0].exportFile (ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, myPdf);

Maybe try adding line 1 to your code.

There is something wrong with PDF export though: usually when you set the export settings with a script, those settings are sticky in that you see them when you next manually export an indd to pdf. But the 'Export as spreads' button isn't selected after setting it. Another way to see that is by using this line instead of line 4:

app.documents[0].exportFile (ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, myPdf, true);

This opens the PDF Export dialog and 'Spreads' should have been selected, but it isn't. But as I mentioned, spread export does work over here.

Hi Marcin,

Works fine for me, can you share the code that you are using and InDesign version that you are using. I tried on CC2017 MAC and it worked.

Hi platm,

     just try in another way, may it works,

var myDoc = app.documents[0];

var FilePath = "Your File Saving Path";

with(app.pdfExportPreferences){

      exportReaderSpreads = true;

}

myDoc.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, File(FilePath+"/PrintPDF.pdf"), false);
