Reply To: package for output – single pages, from a multi page document

Ari,

This is SUCH a useful script so thank you very much!! Couple things I can’t figure out…

1. When the packages are collected, it saves all the folders into what looks like an .indd file, which is ok really because when you double click to open you see it’s actually a folder with all the packaged folders inside it. Is there a way to have it package into a “regular” folder? Maybe the main folder name as an .indd extension so thats why it looks like an .indd file on my desktop?

2. Not all the layers are collected properly, often it’s missing a background image. I tried unlocking all layers or making sure all images are CMYK instead of RGB but that doesnt seem to help, as it seems pretty random but most often doesnt package a background image. I then have to go back and recollect the spread.

3. Is there a way to remove the “layer 1” layer that is created in the new packaged InDesign file?

Thank you for your insight and help!!
