InDesign server export .pdf, AND save .indd

Hey all,
Just a quick question. Is it possible to script InDesign server to export a .pdf to a certain folder location AND save the original .indd file to another folder location all automatically?
Cheers,
Steve.

Sure. I suppose the typical way to tell it where to put the files would be to pass the paths as parameters to the script and retrieve them with app.scriptArgs.get(). See the SDK for more info.

Export pdf and save as using digits.pdf eliminating all the text characters from the source file.

Hi all,
Usually when we export pdf from indesign or whatever software,,, the pdf file naming will be as per source file...
eg., 123456_dfdfjljf_ULCC.indd will be exported and saved as 123456_dfdfjljf_ULCC.pdf.
my request is "the pdf should be saved as 12345.pdf avoiding all the characters following first digits.
hint: first digists may be more or less than 4 digits....
My request is any number of digits should be saved as 23232.......pdf and avoding the following characters.
please help me... i have hell lot of pdf to export from indesign.......
thanks
bobylon.

There is no "whatever" here - when you export from InDesign or other software each piece of software makes its own naming decisions. It isn't an Acrobat or JavaScript thing at all.

Export an InDesign file to PDF and InDesign freezes and quits

I keep trying to export an InDesign file to PDF and InDesign keeps freezing up and quitting. This is the first time it's done this, I have never had a problem before.I recently added Suitcase Fusion to my computer and wondered if this was the cause, or if there is something else wrong.

Try disabling the suitcase plugin and see if it continues (you'd probably have other problems, too, though, if it's the culprit). Often it's a bit of bad text or an image. See Adobe Community: File Crashing on Output - printing/PDF/other for lots of troubleshooting tips.

Save as PDF and Save PDF as PostScript options in the Printer dialog are not supported.

I downloaded Indesign CS3 trial and liked everything about it until I attempted to print to postscript and got that message. Nothing I have tried has helped. I have seen in various forums that others are having the same problem, but haven't found any solution offered. I am running Tiger 10.4.10 on a new Intel Imac with 3G ram. This is a procedure I use very often in my workflow, and have never had this problem with CS2 on my PC or other Macs. Is there a solution? I downloaded the .1 update and installed that and it didn't change anything.

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME.
Its the first time Im using print booklet option to save my file. I have the same problem when trying to save as pdf and get the
"The Save as PDF and Save PDF as PostScript options in the Printer dialog are not supported."
I'm trying to save a .pdf of a booklet of a facing pages document of A4 size each facing page for a whole size A3, then hope to let the pages be correctly arranged by inDesing, then print and staple.
Meaning pages will be like this - Page #60 left side [of the A3] - page #1 right side [of the A3] , page # 2 right side[of the A3] - page #59 left side[of the A3] etc...
I CANT DO IT. I tried to follow Melvin Thompson , but when I choose save .ps and open it in preview all I see is independent a4 pages and just the left ones , .. How can I save my file as .pdf ready to be printed in a3 ?
I really appreciate any help.

Is it possible to print a calendar in iPhoto'09? Or at least export it and save it in any other format?

I constructed a calendar in iPhoto'09, but I can't buy it, as my country (Russia) is not on the list in the drop-down box of the countries. And I can't export it and save it in any other format so that I could print it off myself. Would upgrading to iPhoto'11 help in any way? I understand it might not be possible to buy a printed calendar, as this service might not be available for Russia, but would I be able to at least export it to a different format? Thanks.

You can export your calendar in to pdf and print it wherever you want)
В iPhoto есть экспорт в pdf, сохрани его в этом формате на компьютере, а потом тебе в любой типографии распечатают)

Hi there!
Are you certain that the serial number is for InDesign? And the correct version?
Please feel free to PM me if you wish to verify the serial number.

Open all pages in a PDF and save them as sequential files

I'm trying to make a script that will open all pages in a multi-page PDF and save them as sequential files, but I have had no luck with the simple script in the "Adobe Ilustrator CS5 Reference: JavaScript".
there example to open a PDF to a designated page does not work for me in Illustrator CS 5.
// Opens a PDF file with specified options
var pdfOptions = app.preferences.PDFFileOptions;
pdfOptions.pDFCropToBox = PDFBoxType.PDFBOUNDINGBOX;
pdfOptions.pageToOpen = 2;
// Open a file using these preferences
var fileRef = filePath;
if (fileRef != null) {
var docRef = open(fileRef, DocumentColorSpace.RGB);
if anyone can get me on the right path it would be appreciated.

Hi DuanesSFK,
you can open a PDF page on this way (tested with CS3 and 5):
//OpenPDFpage2.jsx
var uILevel = userInteractionLevel;
app.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS;
// Opens a PDF file with specified options
var pdfOptions = app.preferences.PDFFileOptions;
pdfOptions.pDFCropToBox = PDFBoxType.PDFBOUNDINGBOX;
pdfOptions.pageToOpen = 2;
// Open a file using these preferences
//var fileRef = filePath;
var fileRef = File("~/Desktop/YourOwn.pdf");
if (fileRef != null) {
var docRef = open(fileRef, DocumentColorSpace.RGB);
app.userInteractionLevel = uILevel;
To open all pages you have to loop through all pages etc.
Easier for you:
Search here in forum for the "open pdf" script (I don't know the exactly name, it was written by CarlosCanto, ) This should always work for you.
Have fun

I just purchased Export PDF, and when I use it, it opens them in WordPad (which I never use) instead of Word. Thus, the pictures are not there, and the fonts are changed. How do I get into Word?

Save as Reduced Size PDF and Save as Optimized PDF do not reduce the file size. What gives?

Save as Reduced Size PDF and Save as Optimized PDF do not reduce the file size. What gives? I used Acrobat 9 to do this for a long time. I recently received new laptop loaded with with Acrobat 10 and it does not work the same. I typically scan 8-10 pages of receipts, combine the files in Acrobat, and then optimize to reduce the size so I can upload with my expense report. Typically, my files were reduced to 200-400 KB. I have a 2 MB file that will not reduce at all.

Bernd, thank you for your attempt to help but the option dialog windows do not contain the same options. There are numerous other posts on this forum about this issue and there is no answer. Clearly, there is an issue. I have submitted this issue to our internal help desk.

How do i copy text added to a protected pdf and save in word.

More details would be helpful. What security restrictions are there, exactly? Do you know the password? Do you want to copy all of the text in a document, or just some?
