Hi all,

I have script to convert the indesign file to PNG, but not possible to save png with slug area. Is there any option to include the slug area while exporting to PNG from PDF without going to convert from Acrobat?

The regular PNG Export lets you export a selection, so you could created a frame filled with paper or none set to the slug, group it with the PDF, select the group, and export the selection:

The PNGExportPreference doesn’t have a selection property, so I don’t think it could be done via a PNG export.
