Export groups of pages (or spreads) to individual .indd

Good morning,
This is my first post and I'm relatively new to InDesign
(as I'm sure you'll be able to tell). I've found this forum in particular to be incredibly helpful so far - so thank you in advance for helping me learn!
Here's my scenario: I'm building templates for products that can be customized online (screenshot: http://www.diigo.com/item/image/2rdmh/bu6q?size=o). These products have a front and a back (page 1 and page 2)
Input: InDesign file with 92 separate pages (46 products, front and back)
Desired output: 46 .indd files (2 pages each *ideally separate pages and not not a spread of 2 pages*)
Current solution: Badia Exportools Standard
Steps required:
1) Open each file (92 separate pages)
2) Arrange every set of 2 pages (ex. pages 1 and 2, 3 and 4, paired) in to 2 page spreads in the Page Panel (time intensive)
3) Use Badia Exportools to separate files "by spread" (output is the 46 "paired" pages as required, but of course they're in spreads)
4) Open each file and "break" each spread back in to separate pages
I've searched for a better solution, but this is what I came up with. Please let me know if you think I should re-vector my efforts, thanks again.

How to Keep Pages as Spread in Exporting CS2 Book

While working with InDesign CS2 book feature, I'm trying to export my book as a pdf. The trouble that I am having is when my pdf doesn't keep all of the pages as spread. For example, let's say my first file has 5 pages ( pages 1-5 ) and then the next has 3 ( pages 6-8 ). In the original files, the document has spreads. However, in the pdf, pages 1-2 and 3-4 are spreads and then page 5 is single. And then, page 6 is single and then pages 7-8 are a spread.
My goal is to get InDesign to automatically create spreads when the files are exported no matter if the document has even or odd pages? I don't want to have to create all my files with all even pages. Does anyone know how this would be possible?
Thanks,
Jenny

First, this is one of those shortcomings with the current state of affairs. ID doesn't combine booked documents when exporting spreads.
So why do you want spreads? Is this for reader proofing (readers spreads which is what you'd get if you export a single doc as spreads)? If so, why not just fix the initial view in the PDF properties dialog? Export as single pages, then set the PDF to open as facing pages with cover page.
Or are you trying to impose into printer's spreads? That's not the same thing at all, and ID doesn't impose except through Print Booklet (but you can use that to print to PDF?

How to Export/Import a Page Group?

Hi All,
I'm having problems to export a page group from a dev server to a production server. What I had done with succesfull:
- I created the transport set table in dev server by clicking on Export link under page group;
- I executed the script and generated the dump file without warnings;
- I executed the import script in the production server without warnings;
When I will Import the transport table to my production server via Oracle Portal Interface, the status of the page group is Fail. Why?
I created the user groups before, that are the same of the dev instance.
Note: In my production instance there is no page group. It is my first export/import of this page group.
What steps I need to do? Am I do anything wrong?
Best regards,
JV.

This is the error log that I received:

Can I export a multiple page document as separate PDFs in one output?

I am using InDesign CS5 (7.0.3) on Mac.
I have been given a list of 500 unique codes (from Excel) to overprint an existing label.
I've placed the text (codes) in the position/size and colour in a 500 page InDesign Document.
Now, my question is... Is there any way I can export the 500 pages as individual PDFs
without haveing to... export as page 1, export page 2, export page 3 etc? (x500 times!)
I don't really want to risk saving it all manually, because I will have to go back and double check everythig to the original source file.

Have a look here, it should do what you want. For instructions on installing and using scripts look here.

HT3529 How do I send a group text, I have set up groups in my gmail account but can't figure out how to send a group text without adding them all individually

How do I send a group text message, I have groups set up in my gmail account but can't figure out how to send a group text without adding them all individually ?

You can use iCloud:
Step 1. Log into www.icloud.com using your Apple ID.
Step 2. Click on Contacts and then click the groups ribbon (the red icon with two people) which is on the left-hand page when viewing All Contacts.
Step 3. The left page changes to a list of Groups (only those groups stored in iCloud are shown). Click the + button at the bottom to add a new group.
Step 4. Type a name for the new group and press Enter to save it. To change it after this, double-click its entry in the groups list.
Step 5. To add contacts to the new group, click on the All Contacts group and locate the first person to be added (you can use the search bar to find them quickly).
Step 6. Drag their name on top of the new group and drop it to add it to that group.
Step 7. To add more contacts, repeat steps 5 and 6, but you can add multiple contacts at once by pressing Ctrl (on a PC) or Command (on a Mac) and clicking on each contact in the list that you wish to select. Then, drag one of the highlighted names to the new group and they will all be added.
It's possible to add names to more than one group, and you can create as many groups as you like.
Step 8. Launch the Contacts app on your device (iPhone, iPod touch or iPad) and you should see the new group appear almost immediately - as long as you have an internet connection.
Until Apple builds in a function to create groups directly within the Contacts app, this is the best way to do it.

Disappearing Groups in Available Group Wikis Page

I found a temporary fix to an ongoing issue and I am looking for a more permanent "fix", if there is such a thing...
The issue is the individual group wiki not appearing in the "Available Group Wikis" when going to https://www.myserver/groups/.
The set up is several xserves within the network, one of which is OD Master, the others are replicas. One of the replicas services the external IP, and this is the one with the no available wikis notation on the Available Group Wikis" page. The group wiki is actually on that server, and can be reached by going to https://www.myserver/groups/mygroup.
In experimenting with this, I found that I can get the mygroup wiki to appear on the Available Group Wikis page IF: I first copy the mygroup folder/directory found in Library/Application Support/Collaboration/Groups to another location (desktop works); then delete the mygroup folder/directory in Collaboration/Groups; then browse to https://www.myserver/groups/mygroup (results in the default wiki page); then browse to https://www.myserver/groups/ and the mygroup listing is there. Next step is to copy the subfolders wiki and weblog from the original mygroup back to the new Collaboration/Groups/mygroup folder; and, change the permissions for the lot back to _teamsserver as it was originally.
All is fine and the mygroup listing and link remains in the Available Groups Wikis page - UNTIL, the server is restarted or web server is restarted. After a restart, the Available Groups Wikis page is back to not showing any groups...
The question is: where is the document that is getting loaded when restarting web server that either deletes the mygroup listing on the Available Groups Wikis page, or fails to see that there is a group to be listed, or how is this otherwise fixed?
Thanks in advance for any insight into what the problem is and how to fix it.

How are you changing the perms back to _teamserver, through Server Admin showing system accounts? Make sure you are connecting to that local machine's Server Admin when setting the _teamserver perms for the Collaboration dir and not the OD Server. This might be causing a conflict if you are using the _teamserver account from your OD Master rather than the local machine.
Otherwise you can try wiping your ACLs using:
sudo chmod -R -N /Library/Collaboration
Then setup your ACLs again on the local machine's Server Admin with system accounts being shown or via the terminal.

Move group of pages from one InDesign file to another InDesign File using VB.Script

Dear team,
I am trying to move group of InDesign pages from one indesign file to another indesign file using vb.script.
I have written the code like
Dim Pages=IndDoc.Pages
Dim Mytype=TypeName(Pages)
Pages.Move(InDesign.idLocationOptions.idBefore,IndDoc1.Pages.LastItem)
but it is giving an error as method Move is not a member of Pages
please give mme the solution to move the Multiple pages or a group of page from one Indd to another Indd.

Hey Peter, if I wan to move several page that part of Auto Flow text, I checked the "delete page after moving" but the content still there, not deleted.
Is there any way to delete it automatically, just to make sure I have moved that autoflowed page?

Creating a pdf document with both single pages and spreads

Hi, i'm not sure if this is possible, but basically i'd like to set up a document which allows me view the first three pages as single sheets and the remainder of the document as a booklet. The reason for this is I'm sending a cover letter, CV and then a booklet via email to apply for a job, and the booklet i have created has graphics which run accross the spread. I was hoping to lay the document as such:
1. cover letter
2. CV
3. Booklet front cover
4-5. booklet spread
6-7. booklet spread
8-9. booklet spread
I'm not too familiar with how to set this up (or if this is possible), could anyone point me in the right direction?

@Dave Merchant - The pages are true spreads, I've had a go at attempting to define the page type by the master but i can't seem to get it to split the document so that the first three pages remain single. I had a go at trying to create an entire new document with the pages in in order, but not sure how to insert single pages and spreads combined within the document.
@Test Screen Name - Do you know how i would be able to create such a document within indesign? i've had a look for some answers in the documentation but havent come accross anything yet (im on CS5). I had a go at combining the documents as the booklet and the single pages, but when i change the view options in acrobat to two page the first pages becomes a cover and the second and third are next to each other.

IBooks Author: in exported file, one page loads very slowly...

iBooks Author: in exported file, one page loads very slowly and drags when scrolling through pages, almost stopping the scroll. I have never seen this problem before with photo pages. Normally they scroll just as smoothly as text pages.
I have tried rebuilding the page with more compressed files to no avail. The image files used on the page are not any bigger than others I have used previously without any problem.
I have tried restarting my iBook.
I am using a template that I have modified quite a bit. The templates currently offered by Apple and third parties are not even close to what I am looking for in terms of layout, so I have to rip almost everything out of the page and start with a blank page, most of the time. I tried modyfying the layouts to save time and then saved as a new template. Apple really needs to add a module to create your own template at the beginning of a project. Or they need to create one very open template, without much on the pages.

I finally solved the problem by using an unmodified template. I would still like to know how my modifications to the other template caused the problem, but for now it remains a mystery. Thanks for your ideas.
Next I will try modifying the template without saving it as a template (merely saving it as a file) to see if I can get away with my modifications. Also I will make fewer modifications.
Slowly but surely I am learning this program by trial and error. Each time I try a few formatting variations, output an iBooks file, and open it on my iPad. I have probably done 20 of these tests, so far. Once I work out every detail of the design and structure, I will build the final book. I am lucky to have a beautiful PDF of the hardcover version, generously provided by my publisher. This not only sets a high bar for me, but also allows me to use some of their design elements via screen capture.
iBooks Author has great potential, but I along way to go to get there. One feature I would really like to see in the next update: the ability to add a hidden caption to a photo. The reader would tap the image and the caption would appear. Tap again and it disappears.

No option to export a portal page (9i)

hello,
i have to export some of our portal pages to our new application server 10g (windows 2000/ windows 2003 server). I have two questions concerning to that:
1. If I browse the portal pages in the navigator view there is no 'export' action next to the pages. I can only see the export links in the provider list, but I need to export the pages (logged in as portal admin). So how can this be done?
2. Is it basically possible to export components from portal 9i to portal 10g? I read that this is not possible, and that both installation have to have the same version number. can you confirm this?
thanks
Katharina

Answer 1: You should see export link against pages also.
Just verify that you have privilege to "Manage Transport Set"
Answer 2: Source and target need to be of same version.
Thanx,
Chetan.

How to run Import/Export for Portal Page

Hi all !
I have to export the Portal page .What are the steps I have to follow to complete the process ?I'm new to Oracle portal..
Please help . Thanks in advance
chris

You could check out the Export/Import FAQ for some of your questions
http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/OTN_CONTENT/MAINPAGE/DEPLOY_PERFORM/EXPORT_IMPORT_FAQ_1120.HTM
Also see if you can get access to configuration guide for your version of portal. There has to be a chapter on how to use Export/Import utilities in Portal
The simplest way to explain the process is
1. Click on Export link next to the object to be exported
2. Give a name for the transport set and export it.
3. Download scripts for migrating the content and run it in export mode to generate the dump file.
4. FTP the script and dump file to target
5. Run the script in import mode to transfer the contents of dump file in target portal. The usage of scripts in export/import mode is given when you run the script without any parameters
6. Go to the Export/Import portlet and select the transport set for import.
7. View the logs to see if the migration has been successful.
8. Go to the navigator and check if the object you migrated has been brought in successfully.

How to I export a master page?

I see the option to import a master page, but no option to export one. How does one export master pages from a project?

Hi there
To my knowledge there is no method offered to export a Master Page. At least, not from the UI.
When you create a Master Page, you are creating a file bearing the extension of .HTT. When you are viewing the Master Pages pod, try right-clicking one of the .HTT files you see. You should see an option on the context menu labeled "Explore". Click that option and Windows Explorer should open at the file location where your Master Page files are. Note that you will see other project files there as well. Master Pages are co-mingled with other files in the project.
Locate the .HTT file of choice and copy it where you wish.
Cheers... Rick

Exporting text into Pages

Is it possible to scan text from a typed page and then open it in Preview and somehow export it into Pages and be able to work with it in Pages? If so, how would you do that? Thanks.

Is it possible to scan text from a typed page and then open it in Preview
You need to scan it with OCR software to create editable text. Or send the image to an online OCR service like
