Script to Export Multiple PDFs at Once

[rahulb1976]

Hi All

I’m trying to find out how to export two PDF's at once from Indesign CC. I'm aiming to get 1 PDFx-1a PDF (High res with crop and bleed) and 1 smallest File Size (Cropped, no marks)? Could you point me in the right direction or if anyone has a working script I could use that would be amazing. My brain is going to fall out my ears.

Many thanks

Rahul

Anyway to add to the script so that I can identify which page numbers I would like to print? The current script runs the entire document. IE: We save all the business cards for Company X into one file. When someone submits a business card order, we export the one name to pdf.

The script works well to generate pdf-files.
But is it possible to create a jpeg within this script?
I need to create the following several times on a day of 1 InDesign document:
1 HiresPDF
1 Lowres pdf
1 jpeg
For the PDF files, the script works perfectly. But I also want to get a Jpeg file from my InDesign in the same script.

I'm no code monkey (below script is found on the interwebz), but add this to the end of the script to get a jpg:

var doc = app.activeDocument;

// Set JPEG export preferences
app.jpegExportPreferences.properties = {
   antiAlias: true,
   embedColorProfile: true,
   exportResolution: 72,
   // exportingSpread: true, // Uncomment if spreads
   jpegColorSpace: JpegColorSpaceEnum.rgb,
   jpegExportRange: ExportRangeOrAllPages.exportRange,
   jpegQuality: JPEGOptionsQuality.maximum,
   jpegRenderingStyle: JPEGOptionsFormat.baselineEncoding,
   useDocumentBleeds: false,
   simulateOverprint: false,
   pageString: "1" // Page(s) to export, must be a string
}

// Make a temporary file
var tempFile = File("E:/Dokumentexport/temp.jpg");

// Export an image of the page to disk
doc.exportFile(ExportFormat.jpg, tempFile);

Thanks guys - Ariel your right I couldn't figure out the bit where I wanted to customise it.

Many thanks

I hope this change in script will help you

d = app.activeDocument; preset1 = app.pdfExportPresets.itemByName("[PDF/X-1a:2001]"); preset2 = app.pdfExportPresets.itemByName("[Smallest File Size]"); if (!(preset1.isValid && preset2.isValid)) { alert("One of the presets does not exist. Please check spelling carefully."); exit(); } if (d.saved) { thePath = String(d.fullName).replace(/\..+$/, "") + ".pdf"; thePath = String(new File(thePath).saveDlg()); } else { thePath = String((new File).saveDlg()); } thePath = thePath.replace(/\.pdf$/, ""); name1 = thePath + "_LR.pdf"; name2 = thePath + "_HR.pdf" d.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, new File(name1), false, preset1); d.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, new File(name2), false, preset2);

Hi Kepano70,

you say:

Look into Peter Kahrel's Batch Process script where you can save settings:
