Hi, You must declare the xml namespace ...
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var myRoot = doc.xmlElements.item(0);
if( !myRoot.xmlAttributes.itemByName("xmlns:xml").isValid ){
myRoot.xmlAttributes.add( "xmlns:xml", "http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace" );
}
alert("myRoot "+myRoot.markupTag.name);
var elts = myRoot.evaluateXPathExpression("descendant-or-self::*");
alert("elts:" +elts + "\nLength:"+elts.length);
Regards

main();
function main(){
var myPDFname = extractPAFname()
exportPDF(myPDFname);
}
function exportPDF(pdfname){
//<fragment>
var myPageName, myFilePath, myFile;

var myPDFExportPreset = app.pdfExportPresets.item("[Qualité supérieure]");
for(var myCounter = 0; myCounter < myDocument.pages.length; myCounter++){
myPageName = myDocument.pages.item(myCounter).name;
app.pdfExportPreferences.pageRange = myPageName;
//The name of the exported files will be the base name + the
//page name + ".pdf". If the page name contains a colon (as it will
//if the document contains sections), then remove the colon.
var myRegExp = /:/gi;

The problem came from the "aid" namespace. You must add namespace at root element if they don't exist. Try this ...
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var _root = doc.xmlElements[0];
if( !_root.xmlAttributes.itemByName("xmlns:aid").isValid ){
_root.xmlAttributes.add( "xmlns:aid", "http://ns.adobe.com/Adobe InDesign/4.0/" );
}
var _xmlElements = _root.evaluateXPathExpression("descendant-or-self::*[@*[name()='aid:pstyle']]");
var i = _xmlElements.length;
while( i-- ){
_xmlElements.xmlInstructions.add('aid:pstyle', _xmlElements.xmlAttributes.item('aid:pstyle').value);
_xmlElements.xmlAttributes.item('aid:pstyle').remove();
}

Hi, 1- it lacks a hook closure at the end "}" 2- you do not process myFrame[0] in your code, if this frame content "EBT", it will be erased
if ((i > 0) && (i <= 3)) {var changeX = app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo = "ABC";}
