Export as Separate PDF Pages with Unique Names

I have an InDesign document that has several pages. I want to export each page as a seperate PDF, but they have to have a unique name that I want to be able to specify.
For example, I want to export page 1 as "calendar page 2014"
Page 2 as "Diary page 2014" etc.
I found some solutions, but they aren't quite what I need:
Export as Seperate pages with image name
This apple script takes the name of the first image on the document and uses that as the name.
However, my document has no images.
Exportools
A paid tool that offers many options for exporting. However, the name has to be based on a pattern, which is no good for me.
I'm hoping that there will be a script that can take the name from a non-printing area/layer. That way, I can just put the desired name on the page and it will export with that name each time.

have you looked at the extention Autosplit PRO? This may be what you are looking for. (Although, I don't think this software is compatable with MAC...but if you find out otherwise, please advise!)
good luck..

Extract PDF pages with it's actual page numbers...

Hi scripting gurus,
We have more than 40 of PDF documents each document contain multiple pages. Using Acrobat Professional 7.0 and 8.0 with MAC platform. We have the script to extract the pages and to suffix running numbers with the document name, please find the script below. For example CH01.pdf document total number of pages is 10, but the actual page number starts with 11. So We have to extract each pages as individual documents and the page number will followed by document name with "_" separation, (Eg: CH01_11.pdf). I have tried so many ways to include the page numbers with the document name but i can't.
/*Split pdf pages with pNum suffixed*/
var rename = /.*\/|\.pdf$/ig;
var startName = this.path.replace(rename,"");
for (var i = 1, j = 0; j < numPages; i += 1, j += 1) {
extractPages ({
nStart : j,
nEnd : j == numPages - 1 ? j : j + 0,
cPath : "/Macintosh HD/Users/Beaconpmg/Desktop/ExtractFolder/"+startName+"_"+i+".pdf"
So please can anyone look into this and help for me.
Thanks in advance.

First of all, replace numPages with this.numPages
Also, this doesn't make any sense:
nEnd : i == numPages - 1
I have tried what you have said above, but it is not working. Its showing the same error (missing ; before statement)in 4th line of the script.
Please find the complete code below;
// see if we need to define a global offset first file
if(global.fPageOffset == undefined) {
var global.fPageOffset = 10; // start at 10
/*Split pdf pages with pNum suffixed*/
var rename = /.*\/|\.pdf$/ig;
var startName = this.path.replace(rename,"");
for (var i = 0; i < this.numPages; i++) { this.extractPages ({ nStart : i, nEnd : i == this.numPages - 1 , cPath : "/Macintosh HD/Users/Beaconpmg/Desktop/ExtractFolder/" + startName + "_" + (i + global.PageOffset) + ".pdf" }); }
// add finished file's number of pages to global page offest
global.fPageOffest += this.numPages;

Create multiple instances of same class but with unique names

Hi,
I'm creating an IM application in Java.
So far I can click on a user and create a chat session, using my chatWindow class. But this means I can only create one chatWindow class, called 'chat'. How can I get the application to dynamically make new instances of this class with unique names, for examples chatWindowUser1, chatWindowUser2.
Below is some code utlising the Openfire Smack API but hopefully the principle is the clear.
    private void chatButtonActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
        int selectedUserIndex = rosterList.getSelectedIndex();
        String selectedUser = rostAry[selectedUserIndex].getUser();
        System.out.println("Chat with: " + selectedUser);
        if (chatBox == null) {
            JFrame mainFrame = CommsTestApp.getApplication().getMainFrame();
            chatBox = new CommsTestChatBox(mainFrame,conn,selectedUser);
            chatBox.setLocationRelativeTo(mainFrame);
        CommsTestApp.getApplication().show(chatBox);
}

yes, an array would work fine, just realize that by using an array, you're setting an upper bound on the number of windows you can have open.
As for unique names, if you mean unique variable name, you don't need one. The array index serves to uniquely identify each instance. If you mean unique title for the window, set that however you want (username, index in array, randomly generated string, etc.). It's just a property of the window object.

Photos in my from my iPhone have same numbering as photos from my dig camera. They all go into iPhoto fine but when I backup to my ext hard drive it will only save one with the name IMG 1002 and I have two separate images both with that name. Help?

Photos in my from my iPhone have the same numbering as photos from my digital camera. They all go into iPhoto fine but when I backup to my ext hard drive it will only save one with the name IMG 1002 and I have two separate images both with that name. How do I get them all to save on my ext hard drive and hope do I prevent this numbering overlap in the future? I'm really hoping I don't have to go through and manually rename every single picture. Thanks.

How are you backing up the photos? The best way is to backup the library itself as that will preserve your organizational efforts as well as all metadata like keywords, titles, faces, places, books, etc.
You can use a backup application that does incremental backups. Thus only the first backup is a full one and subsequent backups just copy those files that are new or changed. I use Synk Pro. The lower cost version, Synk, will do the same job. Other similar apps can be found at MacUpdate.com.
OR: upload your camera to a folder on the Desktop. There you can rename the files to something that is more informative than just the file name. I use the date (international format) along with a brief desc: 2007-1-20-adian1stbday-001.jpg. File renaming apps can also be found at MacUpdate.com. Also you can give the folder an informatve name which will become the Event name when you import the folder of photos into iPhoto.

How to separate two contact with same name

Hi, anyone knows how to separate two contacts with same name in Contacts? Actually they are two persons from two gmail contacts with same name but different contact numbers, different emails....etc, but Contacts assume they are same person and merge them as one!

FG,
In Lion, you have the File > Duplicate option. You will then have two copies of your document open, and the one on top will have the temporary filename "OriginalFileName copy", and your next responsibility is to File > Save (or Command-S) and rename the duplicate. At this point, you edit the copy's name, to perhaps ...copy 1, or whatever you wish. The document you had open when you initiated the File > Duplicate will still be there on your screen, waiting for you to Close it or continue editing.

Exporting a multipage InDesign document to single page PDFs but with unique filenames using scripts

Hi,
I'm using InDesign 5.5.
My goal is to export a multipage InDesign file into single page PDFs but each single PDF must be uniquely named.
For example;
InDesignFileName_487275123.00.pdf
InDesignFileName_734876882.00.pdf
...and so on.
I've spent a great deal of time searching online and the closest I have found is software called Output Factory which works fine.
The way Output Factory works is by placing a script label within a textframe on the master page in InDesign. Then whatever is typed into the text frame on each the separate pages defines the file name of each separate page.
However if I can solve this problem without any investment costs my boss will be very happy
I found PEU5 which works great for exporting into single pages, it's now a case of naming each single PDF but I know nothing how about to create a script but I get the gist of what they do. My understanding is that a script could solve the second half of my problem.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Thanks Peter but but I don't think this is what I'm looking for.

In Design Data merge into separate pdf files with variable data name

Hi all, thank you for taking the time to read this.
Here's what I have.
I've created a file in indesign using a 65 page document.
With this document I've set it up to have specific data in certain areas with data merge. I have that part setup and it works fine.
When I go to export PDF it creates one massive pdf document with all the variable data in it. However here is the scenario I would like.
1. Indesign to create a separate pdf file for each record. So in this example it would be 100 different 65 page pdfs since it should have different pdfs for each record and there are 100 records in the csv.
2. The pdf should be named after each variable record. For example record one says name "Joe", record 2 name "Frank". So it should create joe.pdf, frank.pdf etc.
How can I accomplish this?

I don't know if this script works in CS4 or not:

Is it possible to export pages with bookmark name?

I have 200 page document and I'd like to export the pages with the bookmark names. Any suggestions?

Well, thanks again! But even if I chose to export using the "current" preset it can not export with keywords from iPhoto.
I have tried to import the iPhoto Library, and then tried to "Relocate Masters..." for both the non-keyworded RAW-files and the iPhoto-imported ones, in order to overwrite the RAW-files without keyword and in this way be able to "Consolidate Masters..." the RAW-files with keywords, but somehow it is not possible.
And I have also tried to export the iPhoto RAW-files in Aperture with IPTC added, but Aperture refuses to reload the IPTC once imported (after I have once again overwrite the files), so I can only update the EXIF using "Update the EXIF from master" and that provides with zero, like you said the keywords are included in the IPTC.
However I succeeded to get the keywords when using "Manage reference file", but this forces me to manually update every image one-by-one if it is not possible to make a good batch for "Manage reference file" that changes the file with filename "A.CR2" from folder "1" into the file named the same "A.CR2" in folder "2", I should be possible I guess since it is the same identical filename and file, but it sounds to me that I better hope that Aperture 3 comes with face recognition.

How can I export to a web page with movies?

Hello,
I just noticed that when I exported a folder of pictures and movies to a web page, only the pictures showed up. Is there a way I can use the export to web page feature and see my movies?
Thanks!

Are you using iWeb to create your web page? If so then the only options from within iPhoto for exporting are a photo page or blog page. You need to export only the photos and once in iWeb create a separate movie page and import that movie to that specific page via the Media button at the bottom.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Is there a good way to automate changing existing links to external PDFs to instead be to PDF attachments with same names?

Greetings!
Can anyone tell me a good way to automate changing a "main" PDF's existing hyperlinks to external PDFs to instead be links to PDF attachments to the main PDF (the attached PDFs to have the same filenames as the external PDFs) ?
Format of current link in main PDF:
Go to a page in another document
File: C:\\path\filename.pdf
Destination name: P:1
When link is manually changed to link to a PDF that has been attached to the main PDF:
Go to a page in another document
File: PDF attachment
Page: 1
Zoom level: Fit page
The new PDF link does not list the PDF attachment filename in the link.
The main PDF (the one that has the links that I would like to automatically change) is generated with the hyperlinks to other PDFs from Adobe FrameMaker 11. In FrameMaker11, we added special marker text "openpage filename.pdf:1" that is "automatically" changed to be hyperlinks to external PDFs when the main PDF is created (postscript file is processed) by Adobe Acrobat Pro 11.
My first choice is to be able to change the format of the special marker text in Adobe FrameMaker source file, but I have not found way to specify a link to be to a PDF attachment with a certain filename.
However, I would also really like the option of running a batch file on a main PDF to change the links there.
Has anyone tried using that Adobe ExtendScript ToolKit CS6 to do this? That is, a script that could automatically modify the hyperlinks in a PDF to link to PDF attachments rather than external PDFs, or else modify the unprocessed links while they are still in Postscript file format, or else modify the marker text in FrameMaker to instead of creating a link to a PDF in the same directory as the main PDF being processed, to create a link to a PDF attachment files?
Thank you,
Judith Wallace

FrameMaker's Hypertext feature has no ability to "link" to an attachment on/in a target PDF.
PDFs sourced from FM can have named destinations set in the FM authoring files such that a link from file01.fm to the specified named destination in file01.fm will be functional in the PDFs created from the FM files.
Then, of course, there's the dynamics possible by use o FM Books. But that's the grist for the mills at the FM user-2-user forum.
RE: Scripting - PDF scripting is via Acrobat JavaScript. That something still of and by Adobe although it may migrate to an ISO Standard (or be rolled up in a future ISO 32000).
So, to the point - look to Acrobat JavaScript for scripting.
Be well...

Saving as PDF - problem with file name

Hello everybody,
I have a little problem. I'm making a lot of similar document with InDesign so everytime I copy/paste the latest and then rename it from windows. But when I try to save (with a custom preset) the document as PDF, everytime on default InDesign gave the name of the original document, so I have to write the right name everytime. How can I change this? I want to have on default the file name I'm working on, not the original one.
EXAMPLE
I copy and paste "average.indd" and then I rename it as "joe.indd". I make some changes inside JOE, save it and then try to export as PDF. When the saving window appear, the program suggest "average.pdf" as name of the PDF I'm creating.
Thanks for your support and excuse me if my english is not that good (not my language).
Have a nice day!
Dario

Ah well, it is generally accepted that the most recent PDF-export file name "sticks" and when that's the case, there isn't anything you can do about it except type in the new name you want. However, I just tried it a second time (the first time before my first post), and here, I got it to work the way you want by doing what I originally advised...
Start new file.
Save As average.indd
Export > PDF...file name defaults to average.pdf
Back in InDesign, Save As joe.indd
Export > PDF...file name defaults to joe.pdf
What exactly did you try, and where did the result differ from what I saw?

Bug: Application Express - Multiple pages with same name

In my APEX application, I have mulltiple pages with the same name (user requirement). In SQL Developer, it shows the pages with the same name under the MAX Page ID. For instance, I have pages 18, 21 and 22 with the name of "Binder". In SQL Developer I see 3 APEX Page entries for Page 22. And it shows all of the page items for Page 22 in all of the entries.
Thanks,
Dan

If I delete extra .ipa files when two different applications have the same name, then I need to keep track of which is the current version of what. "Sudoku 4.ipa" might be the latest version of one program, and "Sudoku 7.ipa" could be the latest version of another.
I wish Apple would create a naming scheme where every application has a unique name, and sequential generations are not used. This would make it much cleaner, and there would be no ambiguity as to either which program is which, or which version is which.
I find the safest way to get rid of all the dups is to just delete them all and re-download the app. The bugs in iTunes still make a mess of things, though.
