Save each page as PDF naming mod

Question

I had an issue I needed help with a while back, now I need to mod the script.
Here's the original post
Peter Kahrel, ""Save each page as PDF" naming mod?" #1, 16 Jan 2008 8:00 am
I have a 456 page document that was made from a data merge. It has a background image, a foreground image and a job number/description.
I need to save each page out as a jpg and name the file with the contents of the "jobnumber" text box. Previously Peter Kahrel helped me out tremendously with a little function that looked at the job number (which was always PNXX-xxxx) and swapped it out with the real job number.
Now the contents of the jobnumber field isn't structured, i.e., "AvocadoSwirl_V", or "BurntSienna_G".
Is there a way to set a script label for the "jobnumber" text box and just name the output file whatever is in there?
Here is the existing script:
var destinationFolder = Folder.selectDialog ("Choose a Folder");
var myPDFExportPreset = app.pdfExportPresets.item("WebVidOverlay");
doc = app.activeDocument;
doc.sections.everyItem().includeSectionPrefix = false;
app.findTextPreferences = null;
app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = 'pnxx^9^9^9^9';
found = doc.findText();
for (i = 0; i < found.length; i++ )
f = File (destinationFolder + "/" + found[i].contents + '.pdf');
app.pdfExportPreferences.pageRange = found[i].parentTextFrames[0].parent.name;
doc.exportFile (ExportFormat.pdfType, f, false, myPDFExportPreset);
As always, Thanks a million,
Randy

>Does that sound do-able?
Most things are doable, provided that your information is precise: first you say that pages may or may not have a text frame labelled "jobnumber" and that that frame may or may not have text in it (your post can be read like that anyway). Now you say that every page has a text frame labelled "jobnumber" and that that frame can be filled with either of three text strings. Or maybe all three strings? You say
>then I should be able save each file with the names "Avocado.jpg", "Burnt Sienna.jpg" and "pnga-0431.jpg" respectively.
Or do you mean "save each file with the names "Avocado.jpg", "Burnt Sienna.jpg" _OR_ "pnga-0431.jpg" respectively."? The way you phrased it, it looks as if you want to save three files from a page. But your example shows that you meant "or", not "and".
But anyway, the last two lines of your example appear to make clear what you want. The attached script exports each page of the active document to JPG, using the contents of the text frame labelled "jobnumber" on that page. The script assumes that each page has such a text frame and that there is something in it, and that whatever is in it provides a legal file name. It doesn't do any error checking/catching at all.

app.jpegExportPreferences.resolution = 300;
app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegExportRange = ExportRangeOrAllPages.exportRange;
app.activeDocument.sections.everyItem().includeSectionPrefix = false;
path = app.activeDocument.filePath + '/';
p = app.activeDocument.pages.everyItem().getElements();
for (i = 0; i < p.length; i++)
  jpg_name = p[i].textFrames.item ('jobnumber').contents + '.jpg';
  app.jpegExportPreferences.pageString = p[i].name;
  app.activeDocument.exportFile (ExportFormat.jpg, File (path + jpg_name));
