Hi, I'm having an issue. The InDesign file gets exported to Photoshop as a background layer and a Smart Object but when I try to open the Smart Object it gets exported to Illustrator. Is there a workaround for this because my client wants the IND files as PSD files?

Neither of the recommended scripts are now working on ID v19 onwards, which is really, really annoying. Not only did InDesign remove the script on a previous update but whatever they've now done to the code prevents the scripts from running successfully. Adobe need to either offer this as a tool in the software (which has been requested for years) or at least stop messing with their updates so that we're prevented from making our workflow easier.

The script by Luis Felipe Corullón is working. Just test it with ID19.5 and PS25.11.
I’m on a Mac. 

You said: «...Neither of the recommended scripts are now working on ID v19». Did you get an error message of any kind?

No, not working for me. Initially had a Error 48. Luis sent me an update. Now getting an Error 45. Am currently communicating with Luis.

The script is very helpful. But I can only see 1 page in Photoshop even though all the objects of multiple pages are present. I am surely missing something, but I can't figure it out.

Hi @Anita5CB1 , The script will only export a single page at a time.

Hi @larsm86237786 , You can get the latest Applescript and Javascript versions here:

The javascript is the most recent version—see this thread for more info. I have not tested the Applescript version beyond CC2020 on Mojave:
