Hi all,

Does anyone know where below mentioned sript can be found: zenodesign.com/scripts/PagestoPSLayers.zip

I had it installed but disappeared after the last update.

It enables users to export an INDD document to a layered PSD file - amazing!

Thanks!!

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.

Script to copy Layers to/from Photoshop was never part of InDesign's instalation.

What scripts and what errors? We are not mind readers so you need to be a bit more specific.

Don't have to be a mind reader. The scripts recommended in this thread.

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.
