Hi @kellie.rock29,
Give this a try...
1. Start off by creating a Paragraph style named "PDF_name"
2. Create a text box in the slug area with a portion of the box within the page bounds and assign the Paragraph style "PDF_name"
3. Assign the field from the data source for the pdf naming to that text box
4. Create and save the Merged document, run the script to export the pdfs
The below script will export the eps and pdfs named by the contents of the text box useing the Paragraph style named "PDF_name from each page.
doc = app.documents[0];
var fileName = doc.name.replace(/.indd$/i, "");
var PDF_Folder = Folder(doc.filePath + '/PDF');
var EPS_Folder = Folder(doc.filePath + '/EPS');
var export_preset = app.pdfExportPresets.item("[High Quality Print]");
if (!PDF_Folder.exists) {
PDF_Folder.create();
}
if (!EPS_Folder.exists) {
EPS_Folder.create();
}
for(var p = 0; p < app.documents[0].pages.length; p++) {
var frames = app.documents[0].pages[p].textFrames;
var myPageName = app.documents[0].pages[p].name;
var pdf_name = null;
for(var i = 0; i < frames.length; i++) {
try {if(frames[i].paragraphs[0].appliedParagraphStyle.name == 'pdf_name') {
pdf_name = frames[i].paragraphs[0].contents;
break;
}
}catch (e){
}
}
if (pdf_name == null) {
alert ('Error!\nThe Paragraph Style "PDF_name" is not applied to one or more of the pages or is Labeled Incorrectly.');
exit();
}
if(pdf_name != null) {
// eps export preferences
app.epsExportPreferences.pageRange = String(myPageName);
app.epsExportPreferences.epsColor = EPSColorSpace.CMYK;
app.epsExportPreferences.dataFormat = DataFormat.ASCII;
app.epsExportPreferences.postscriptLevel = PostScriptLevels.LEVEL_2;
app.epsExportPreferences.preview = PreviewTypes.TIFF_PREVIEW;
app.epsExportPreferences.fontEmbedding = FontEmbedding.SUBSET;
app.epsExportPreferences.bleedTop = 0;
app.epsExportPreferences.bleedBottom = 0;
app.epsExportPreferences.bleedInside = 0;
app.epsExportPreferences.bleedOutside = 0;
app.epsExportPreferences.appliedFlattenerPreset = "[High Resolution]";
var myPageItems = app.documents[0].pages[p].allPageItems, textFrame;
while(textFrame = myPageItems.pop()) {
if(!(textFrame instanceof TextFrame)) continue;
try{var outlineList = textFrame.createOutlines(true);
}catch(e){}
}
doc.exportFile(ExportFormat.EPS_TYPE,File(EPS_Folder + "/" + pdf_name + ".eps"),false);
app.pdfExportPreferences.pageRange = app.documents[0].pages[p].name;
doc.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, File(PDF_Folder + '/' + pdf_name + ".pdf"), false, export_preset);
}
}
app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.NEVER_INTERACT;
doc.revert();
app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.INTERACT_WITH_ALL;
alert("Done exporting files!")
Regards,
Mike
