You need to check for the Layername and use an if-clause (either instead of the try-clause or aditional to it). 

Evaluating all Layers’ names can be done via DOM, but it is usually slower than via AM-code, so that would seem the better approach.

A basic question is: What is your level structure?
Only layers or perhaps deeply nested layers in groups?

hi second solution we are trying a script for recursion, but open nothing (designed for indesign)

// extendScript

var defaultFolder = "M:\infographie\Dossier Phykidis\base de donnée produit\pkd\GAMMES\neutre\403 E\etiquette fini - Copie"
var topFolder = Folder(defaultFolder).selectDlg("Select the top level folder.");
if (!topFolder) exit();
var fileandfolderArray = scanSubFolders(topFolder,/\.(indd)$/i);

var fileList = fileandfolderArray[0];
app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.interactWithAll


// ici on boucle sur tous les fichiers. C'est normalement que les fichiers etiquette
for (var i = 0; i < fileList.length; i++) {
	OpenAndUpdate(fileList[i])
}
alert("Done updating and saving files!")
  

function scanSubFolders(tFolder, scanMask){
    var subFolders = new Array();
    var allFiles = new Array();
    subFolders[0] = tFolder;
    for (var j = 0; j < subFolders.length; j++){    
        var procFiles = subFolders[j].getFiles();
        for (var i = 0; i< procFiles.length; i++){
            if (procFiles[i] instanceof File ){
                if(scanMask == undefined) allFiles.push(procFiles[i]);
                if (procFiles[i].fullName.search(scanMask) != -1) allFiles.push(procFiles[i]);
        }else if (procFiles[i] instanceof Folder){
            subFolders.push(procFiles[i]);
            scanSubFolders(procFiles[i], scanMask);
         }
      }
   }
   return [allFiles,subFolders];
};

function OpenAndUpdate(doc){
	app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.neverInteract;
	app.open(doc);
	internal_link = app.activeDocument.links;

	for(var j = 0; j < internal_link.length; j++){
		// On vérifie que le lien est OK :
		if (internal_link[j].status == LinkStatus.LINK_MISSING){
			var folderPath = (Folder.selectDialog(internal_link[j].filePath))
			var imglist = Folder(folderPath).getFiles(internal_link[j].name);
			if (imglist.length == 1){
				internal_link[j].relink(imglist[0]);
			}
		}

		// Si le lien est ok. On l'ouvre pour vérifier ses propres lien. La recursivité a lieu ici:
		if (internal_link[i].linkType == 'indd') { // Je ne veux ouvrir que les fichier indd
			OpenAndUpdate(internal_link[i].File) // pas sur. peut etre Filepath à la place de File. cf la doc: https://www.indesignjs.de/extendscriptAPI/indesign-latest/#Link.html
		}
	}
	app.activeDocument.links.everyItem().update();
	app.activeDocument.save();
	app.activeDocument.close();
   return 0; // fin de la fonction. Elle ne renvoie rien normalement
};

As it is the Script just checks for the presence of a Layer with the name »<< doubleclick tochange etiquette« and gives an alert if it does. 

You can insert whatever you need in the if-clause 

if (theLayer == true) {alert ("layer of the name exists")}

instead of the alert. 

 

Edit: 

if (theLayer == true) {app.doAction("update pdf", "Actions par défaut")};

i try to assemblate your script, and an other script

var topFolder = (Folder.selectDialog("Select the top level folder."))

var fileList = fileandfolderArray[0];

for (var i = 0; i < fileList.length; i++) {
var myFile = fileList[i];
   
app.open(myFile);

while (app.documents.length > 0) { 

var doc = app.activeDocument;

var docName = fileList[i].name.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '');

var outputFolder = Folder(doc.path);

var newFile = new File(decodeURI(outputFolder) + "/" + docName + ".png");

app.runMenuItem(stringIDToTypeID("placedLayerUpdateAllModified"));

exportOptions = new ExportOptionsSaveForWeb();

exportOptions.includeProfile = true; // false = don't embedd ICC profile
doc.exportDocument(newFile, ExportType.SAVEFORWEB, exportOptions);

doc.close(SaveOptions.SAVECHANGES);

  }
}
alert("Done processing files!")

function scanSubFolders(tFolder, scanMask){
    var subFolders = new Array();
    var allFiles = new Array();
    subFolders[0] = tFolder;
    for (var j = 0; j < subFolders.length; j++){    
        var procFiles = subFolders[j].getFiles();
        for (var i = 0; i< procFiles.length; i++){
            if (procFiles[i] instanceof File ){
                if(scanMask == undefined) allFiles.push(procFiles[i]);
