vbscript - export of multiple files at once

[diabollo]

Hello all,

I made a script that will export to pdf all open projects.

I do it one by one, I wonder if it can be done faster - several at a time.

The idea is that the main scripts run several scripts (threads) just to make it work I need to know how to write a reference to an object (an indd file in a specific location).

For now, I have:

set myInDesign = CreateObject("InDesign.Application")
For myDocumentCounter = 1 To myInDesign.Documents.Count
myInDesign.Documents.Item(myDocumentCounter).Export idExportFormat.idPDFType, "file_name", False, myInDesign.pdfExportPresets.item("111")
Next

I would like to do something like this:

set myInDesign = CreateObject("C:/file_path/file_name.indd")
For myDocumentCounter = 1 To myInDesign.Documents.Count
myInDesign.Documents.Item(myDocumentCounter).Export idExportFormat.idPDFType, "file_name", False, myInDesign.pdfExportPresets.item("111")
Next

Then I will be able to run it many times, changing only the path to the file.
