Script: Check for bookmark, add bookmark name to export filename

[MikaelRav]

I've been working on a script that does three things:

1. Exports all pages as pngs
2. Adds the page dimensions at the end of the file names

3. If there is a bookmark on a page, the name of that bookmark is added to the file name for that page.

I'm not a scripter and this is based of other scripts, but what I'm struggling with is no. 3. I'm not really sure how to set up a working if-statement that somehow checks for bookmarks on each page.

Thankful for any suggestions/solutions.

main();
function main() {


	//Suffix
    var mySuffix = '';
    if (mySuffix == "") {
        mySuffix = prompt("Ev. språkversion", mySuffix);
    }

    if (mySuffix != "") {
        mySuffix = "_" + mySuffix  //add underscore separator
    }
    
    
    // Variables
    var SysFolder = Folder.selectDialog(); //prompts normal save as location chooser dialog

    path = SysFolder + "\/"; // have to add a slash to end of the path to get the file to actually save INSIDE this folder

    var myDoc = app.activeDocument;

    var pageLabel = "";


	// Export settings
    app.pngExportPreferences.pngExportRange = PNGExportRangeEnum.EXPORT_RANGE;
    app.pngExportPreferences.exportingSpread = false;
    app.pngExportPreferences.antiAlias = true;
    app.pngExportPreferences.transparentBackground = false;
    app.pngExportPreferences.exportResolution = 72;
    app.pngExportPreferences.pngQuality = PNGQualityEnum.MAXIMUM;
    app.pngExportPreferences.pngColorSpace = PNGColorSpaceEnum.RGB;
	


for(var i = 0; i < myDoc.pages.length; i++) {

        app.pngExportPreferences.pageString = myDoc.pages[i].name;

        myPage = myDoc.pages[i];
        myWidth =   myPage.bounds[3] -   myPage.bounds[1];  
        myHeight =   myPage.bounds[2] -   myPage.bounds[0];  


		if (myDoc.bookmarks[i].destination.destinationPage.name == myDoc.pages[i].name) {
        pageLabel = "_" + myDoc.bookmarks[i].name
	    }


        var myPath = path + myDoc.name.substring(0, (myDoc.name.search(".indd"))) + pageLabel + mySuffix + "_" + myWidth + "x" + myHeight + ".png";

        var myFile = new File(myPath);

        myDoc.exportFile(ExportFormat.PNG_FORMAT, myFile, false);
    }

}

Hi,

Try following snippet. I have not used your existing script buyt edited mine that I alreday have. Give it a try

var doc = app.activeDocument;
var docName = doc.name.split('.')[0];
var _pages = doc.pages;
var _destinationFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select folder for export");
var _bookMarks = doc.bookmarks;
if (_destinationFolder != null) {
    for (var p = 0; p < _pages.length; p++) {
        var _width = Math.round(_pages[p].bounds[3] - _pages[p].bounds[1]);
        var _height = Math.round(_pages[p].bounds[2] - _pages[p].bounds[0]);
        var _pageName = _pages[p].name;
        var _pageLabel = ''
        for (var b = 0; b < _bookMarks.length; b++) {
            if (_bookMarks[b].destination.destinationPage.name == _pageName) {
                _pageLabel = _bookMarks[b].name;
                break;
            }
        }
        if (_pageLabel != '') {
            var _file = _destinationFolder + "/" + docName + "_" + _pageLabel + "_" + _width + "x" + _height;
        }
        else {
            var _file = _destinationFolder + "/" + docName + "_" + _width + "x" + _height;
        }
        app.pngExportPreferences.pngExportRange = ExportRangeOrAllPages.EXPORT_RANGE;
        app.pngExportPreferences.pageString = _pageName;
        app.pngExportPreferences.antiAlias = true;
        app.pngExportPreferences.transparentBackground = false;
        app.pngExportPreferences.exportResolution = 72;
        app.pngExportPreferences.pngQuality = PNGQualityEnum.MAXIMUM;
        app.pngExportPreferences.pngColorSpace = PNGColorSpaceEnum.RGB;
        try {
            doc.exportFile(ExportFormat.PNG_FORMAT, File(_file), false);
        }
        catch (e) { }
    }
    alert("Exported Successfully!")
}

Nice! I was able to add my own small modifications. This will save me A LOT of time. Thanks!
