Page numbering in Individual PDF export

Question

Hello! This is probably an easy fix but I cannot figure it out...

I have a document I need to export as individual pdf pages that starts at p.106

I need the pdf name to reflect p.106 and so-on at the end of the name but I can only get it to start numbering at p.1, p.01 or p.101

How can I get it to automatically number the name of each file from p.106 onwards?

Thank you!

Or when you export the file as Separate PDF Files, you specify the Suffix and choose Page Number.

Try this. Update startPage to change the start page.

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var pagesLength = myDoc.pages.length;
var filename = myDoc.name.split(".")[0]; // Update this to a new filename in string format  if required
var path = myDoc.fullName.path;
var destinationFolder = Folder(path + "/output");
if (!destinationFolder.exists) {
 destinationFolder.create();
}

// Update to any start page
var startPage = 106;
if (startPage > pagesLength) {
 alert("Star page does not exist.");
} else {
 for (var i = startPage - 1; i < pagesLength; i++) {
  currentPage = myDoc.pages[i];
  exportPage = currentPage.name;
  pdfName = filename + "_p" + (i + 1); 
  app.pdfExportPreferences.pageRange = "" + exportPage;
  myDoc.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, File(destinationFolder + '/' + pdfName + '.pdf'), false);
 }
}

Hope this helps.
