Export multiple pages in InDesign...

Did anyone try to export for print (this means with all the bleeds, marks, color coding, etc etc...) an entire magazine into single pages?
I found various solutions but non are realistic. I shoot with a D800e and D810 (this means massive 36 megapixel files) and each page can contain up to 10 or more images making each page incredibly heavy! (why am I telling you this?) one of the solutions is to export the entire document in one single pdf and then extract each page from Acrobat X ... this is obviously impossible for the massive amount of data.
So my question is can I export the whole magazine in one shot into single files? or I'm doomed to export single pages each time
Thanks
Sergio

Hello Peter,
I shoot with a 36Mp camera because not all the times you'll be using the whole image. Many times there is a crop of that image and obviously it has been compressed and cut (using a full size image has no sense) The final file 1:1 is 300Dpi and to reply to Dov, yes the export is done correctly in JPEG.
But this is not the point... let's make an example. a magazine 250 pages, all done (images, text, etc etc) is ready for the printer that requires single pages with bleed and slug (markers etc etc) imagine that the pages can contain up to 5 images each (this means something close to 1200 images) is there a way to export each single page separately with one command? If you ever exported in jpeg directly from ID (to create a file to view or send in email for approval as an example...not related to print!) you'll see that ID creates separate files for each page (obviously no JPG contains more pages) but I know that there's a script that allows the same thing in ID. It will export the whole file with multiple pages in single PDFs.
Thank you Peter and Dov for your kindness and for your time

Can I use preview to export multiple page PDF as jpegs?

Using Preview, I export multiple page PDF as jpeg and results are the first page only as jpeg. Can I use preview to export multiple page PDF as jpeg for every page?

Automator is great for this if you need to export many pages to JPG, or just have to do this often.
Two other quick and dirty way sto get it done:
(1) Enable thumbnail view, click on the ONE PAGE you want to convert to jpg, then choose "export." If you choose more than one page, only the first will get exported to jpg.
(2) Create a copy of the file, delete all the pages except the one you want to export to JPG, and export that page. You may be able to "undo" the delete, get all your pages back again, and re-delete all but the one you want to export, etc. I would not recommend doing this on the original version of the file because of Preview's autosave so-called "feature."

When exporting eps pages from InDesign 5.5 how can I make them be T1.eps T2.eps instead of T_1.eps T

While building special tabs for my job, we have to turn in the pages for print with a very specific filename system. It's complicated so I'll try to explain...
page 1 must be T1.eps
page 2 must be T2.eps
unfortunately when I click to export the pages to eps InDesign insists that it add an underscore mark in there.
T_1.eps
T_2.eps
etc.
is there a setting that I haven't located yet that explains to InDesign that I do not need/want that underscore in there?

Not that I know of. I assume it's scriptable, but instead of writing a custom Javascript export tool I usually use something like Bulk Rename Utility to enforce that kind of naming convention. (Mostly because my four biggest clients each have their own complex and idiosyncratic file-naming conventions. Scripting it in ID would take more time and be more failure-prone for me than using an already-existing free utility that has regex support and eighteen million options.)

Export multiple page indd as individual pdfs.

I've been racking my brain on this.
I have a very long indd that needs to be sent as hirez pdfs to the printer (don't ask me why, I don't know). Each page needs to be it's own pdf. I know I can export each page individually, or export it as one .pdf and extract each page manually, but is there a way/script out there to export each page individually as a pdf automatically?
Thanks!

Hi,
take a look at the good old ExportEachPageAsPDF.js of the tutorial 'Working with Documents' in http://www.hilfdirselbst.ch/foren/Einzel-PDFs_exportieren_P193960.html#193960

Export multiple pages

I need to open multiple pages from a pdf into Adobe Photoshop Elements, Ver. 3.0
Please help,

It's such a chore to open up each page, (File->Open->Select Page, etc). But does your answer mean that I would have to break the multiple page pdf document into separate page pdfs?
When you say improved handling in version 4, how is it improved specifically? Thanks.

Page overlap when exporting to pages in InDesign CS6.

Hey community,
for a college project I am creating a little a5 sketch book, I have everything finished, but when I export the file as pages (which is what the company who is printing it requested) some of the spread overlaps onto the pages like so:
In InDesign I have the document set up like this with facing pages:
Could anyone help me please? I'm far from an expert using InDesign, thankyou to anyone who is kind enough to help, if you need more screenshots i'll happily put them up.

I'm going to start again, it's up to you if you want to read this or not, I do appreciate any help that I get, i'm just having a hard time getting my head round all of this.
I am wanting an a5 booklet, like this:
I got the pages mixed up before so now they are this:
So I should be saving as spreads, not pages, which is my fault again and i'm sorry. The covers and the first/second page will be double sided, meaning I won't have a blank page in between them.
So if I export my document, using crop marks and no inside bleed:
I get this:
Now is that correct?
I know i'm being a pain in the back side but i'm not fluent in InDesign and it gets quite confusing with setting pages up.
Thankyou again.

Placing a multiple page pdf over multiple pages in indesign

Ok so I do alot of "print presentations," when designing books or manuals etc
I have to place the spreads of the document into their own A3 pages in another indesign file
So I make a pdf with all the spreads I need.
Then I place the pdf and with import options say all pages.
But now I still have to click on each page where I would like to have the spread
How can I take lets say a 74 spread pdf and place it so that all the spreads go onto their own page all on the same spot?
Is it possible or do I have to place them all on their own?
Also how do I apply the same effect to all these pages, lets say a drop shadow and a stroke?
Please help, because this is very time consuming and deadlines don't wait.
Thank you

Exporting transparent pages for the iPad

Confusing.
Baffled.
So bear with me as I attempt to explain what I'm so earnestly trying to figure out is even possible; and if so, how to do it..
I'm attempting to export an epub for the iPad that contains images [without a background] from Photoshop. In Photoshop, the layers build on top of one another. (Think of physical transparencies printed out with different images and as they stack on top of one another they build a conglomerate image)
So in theory, I want to export these pages from InDesign as transparencies, that when the page is turned on the iPad, you can see through it as the images stack on top of one another.
It seems confusing to me because of the front and back of each page in InDesign.. It's like dealing with two pages instead of one. For example, in a facing pages layout, if I had an image on the 3rd page [lets imagine that's on the right in the layout], would the 4th page [on the left] be showing the transparent side of the 3rd page? I just want it to be read as a literal transparent page [the 3rd and 4th page conglomerate] that you can see through to the 5th.
Is this possible? Do I need to set a certain transparency option in InDesign when I export?
Or is this just not feasible..
Please help.
I'm lost.
Thank you

You're saying you want your epub to look as if it's printed on transparent acetate? I don't do epub, myself, but I don't think that's going to happen.If it were possible, you'd have to specify an opaque page (the equivalent of a piece of white paper) for all "normal" pages to keep them readable, and that's just something ID is not set up to do.
ID simply doesn't care what sort of stock you print on. What is on the page is what will output to the medium on which your doc is printed (ID is first and foremost an application designed to make layouts for print). Nothing is genreated in terms of background other than what you yourself might add. A PDF is theoretically has no additional white background, but Acrobat displays one so your desktop doesn't show through. I imagine the same thing happens with epub readers. If no background is specified, the reader provides something.

InDesign: How can I export indd pages to layered psd files?

I wish to create layered PSD files from the pages of InDesign marketing brochures so that they may be used as templates in Photoshop by photographers (or whomever) that neither possess nor understand how to use InDesign? I have seen offerings by other offering both an indd file and multiple psd files but I cant discern a simple way to make that happen. I am hoping to be able have it occur via a "click" -- convert indd to layered psd. Id doesn't not appear to allow PSD export. What is another method to do this? I'm on PC.

One way would be to export every Indesign layer as PDF and to assemble them again to a multi-layer PSD file.
But there is a also script that can do what you want. Unfortunately for you, it is for Mac only.

EPub export using just a range of pages from inDesign Book

I've created an ePub Fixed Layout ebook from inDesign 2014.1. I now want to create a summary book for Apple's iBook store, using pages from multiple chapters.
I know the ePub export dialog has an "Export Range" panel in the "General" tab. When you export from a single inDesign Document, you can either leave it as "All Pages" or chose a Page Range. However, I have an inDesign Book, with a inDesign document per chapter.
When I do the ePub "Fixed Layout" export, I come to this panel and the option to select a Page Range is disabled, so I can't specify the pages I want. The pages are numbered to follow on from chapter to chapter.
So, it looks to me like exporting to ePub from an inDesign Book will only allow you to create an ebook from ALL of the pages of the inDesign Book?
I'd really like to create a summary from multiple chapters, so any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Bill

Hi Bill,
Page range for export can only be selected when exporting a document to Fixed Layout ePub. It cannot be done when exporting book to Fixed Layout ePub.

Need help exporting multiple individual PDF files out of Indesign CC

I work for a monthly publication and we send our files to the press at the end of the month. There are around 190+ pages that need to be exported as individual PDF's and each PDF needs to be labled as their correct page number. Since we often are backed up against the wall at our deadline, we really need a way to export all these files at one time. Is there a way to export multiple PDF files at one time in Indesign CC?

You could script InDesign to export each page as individual PDF with specific export presets and labeled with correct page number.
But you could also use Acrobat Pro for this task (sorry for the certainly wrong translation of the Acrobat UI – I use a german version ...):
Export the whole publication as 1 PDF file (pp. 1-190).
Open it in Acrobat Pro and choose »Tools › Extract Pages«.
Type 1 to 190 and check the box »extract pages as single pages«, choose the location where to extract to and acrobat automatically numbers your new PDFs sequentially from 1 to x. (Caution: it doesn’t take the correct page number, but numbers sequentially, so it is important to have a PDF from pp. 1-190 in the correct order.)
So with this (as mentioned – sorry for German ):
You’ll get this:

InDesign Data Merge w/Multiple Page Document

I am working to print a multiple-page newsletter, and printing the mailing information using a Data Merge in InDesign CS4 (PC), with the intent of printing this in-house to send to our members. (My office has been doing this successfully for years using Publisher, but I insisted we update to InDesign.)
I have the document ready, and I have the Data Source information (set up in tab-delimited (.txt) text format).
After I have selected the Data Source (Window > Automation > Data Merge), inserted the Data Fields, and then Created Merged Document, I wind up with multiple versions of the Document; one for each person we are sending the newsletter to!
I was working with our printer technician to solve the issue, but his sources told him that the only way to do this was by using one document as the newsletter master and another document as the Data Merge document, and doing a little magic thru the PostScript driver in the printer.
(Specifically: the document is letter-sized, set to print as a booklet. The work-around involves copying and pasting these pages into a new tabloid-sized document, creating another blank tabloid-sized document that has only the Data Merge info in the proper place, printing the cover with this Data Merge separately, loading that into a drawer, and printing the new document and wrapping it with the pre-printed cover.)
1 - What am I doing wrong that gives me over 800 InDesign documents for this newsletter?
2 - Is there a way for me to print this without the work around?

That is what Indesign does when it does a data merge, it creates copies of the document and there's no way to change this. Have you tried exporting to PDF (In CS4 you can do this in one step from the original) and printing? I've never had anyone confirm it definitively but I'm pretty sure that the PDF created will be an 'optimized' one, meaning that when it sends it off to a compatible printer the images will be sent once and cached, with only the text that changes being sent separately.
Definitely worth comparing it to Publisher for speed anyway, Office programs can merge straight to the printer, but in effect they're doing the same thing. There are programs out there for doing far fancier stuff than data merge, probably the best is XM Pie, but unless you've got a printer that recognises their language they're a waste of time in this circumstance anyway.

Export selected items on each page in InDesign to JPEG

Hi All,
I have InDesign CS5.5. I have a document with more than 50 pages and each page has unique image and the description for image.
I need to export each page as JPEG. but i don't want to export full page. i need only the items on each page. So i go to each page and select all the items and export. while exporting i use the same name of the image used in each page.
I tried writing a script but it exports only the active page. i do not know how to navigate to the next page and export.
is some one can help.
below is my script.
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myNumPages = myDoc.pages.length; //get the number of pages
var myFilePath = myDoc.filePath; //get the file path
var myRectangle = app.activeWindow.activePage.allGraphics; //get the graphics of the active page
var myPageName = app.activeWindow.activePage.name; //get the page name.
           if(myRectangle.length >1)
                    alert("the page has more than one image. Delete the other image to export");
                    exit();
var myImageName = myRectangle[0].itemLink.name; //get the name of the image
app.select(NothingEnum.NOTHING);
for(var i=0; i<myNumPages; i++)
          app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegQuality = JPEGOptionsQuality.high;
          app.jpegExportPreferences.exportResolution = 300;
          app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegExportRange = ExportRangeOrAllPages.exportRange;
          app.jpegExportPreferences.pageString = myPageName;
          mySelectedItems();
function mySelectedItems()
          var myObj = new Array;
          myObj = app.activeWindow.activePage.pageItems;
          try
                              app.activeWindow.activePage.groups.add(myObj);
                              catch(e)
          app.select(app.activeWindow.activePage.allPageItems);
          app.selection[0].exportFile(ExportFormat.JPG, File(myFilePath+"/"+myImageName+".JPEG"), false);

export all image of each page try like this
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myFolder = myDoc.filePath;
var myImage = myDoc.allGraphics;
for (var i=0; myImage.length>i; i++){
    app.select(myImage[i]);
    var MyImageNmae = myImage[i].itemLink.name;
    app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegQuality = JPEGOptionsQuality.high;
    app.jpegExportPreferences.exportResolution = 300;
       app.selection[0].exportFile(ExportFormat.JPG, File(myFolder+"/"+MyImageNmae+".JPEG"), false);
    alert(myImage[i].itemLink.name)
