Reply To: Export pages to jpg with custom filenames

Here’s the script I’ve been using and it’s working great. I’ve managed to have the JPG saved on my desktop though, not in a specific folder.
I’ve changed the resolution to 300 dpi…
Also, the script is looking for the Paragraph style “filenames”. As long as the text box for the names is set with that style, I think it will work, but I ain’t an expert!
Hope this can help.


if (app.documents.length != 0){
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
MakeJPEGfile();
} else {
alert("Please open a document and try again.");
}
function myPS() {
try {
return myDoc.selection[0].appliedParagraphStyle;
} catch (e) {
alert("Place cursor to text with paragraph style for filenames");
exit();
}
}
function MakeJPEGfile() {
app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegQuality = JPEGOptionsQuality.high;
app.jpegExportPreferences.exportResolution = 300;
app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegExportRange = ExportRangeOrAllPages.exportRange;
app.findGrepPreferences = null;
app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = myPS();
var f = myDoc.findGrep();
for (var myCounter = 0; myCounter < f.length; myCounter++) {
try {
var curPage = f[myCounter].parentTextFrames[0].parentPage;
if (curPage.appliedSection.name != "") {
curPage.appliedSection.name = "";
}
var objName = f[myCounter].contents.replace(/ /g,"_").toLowerCase();
app.jpegExportPreferences.pageString = curPage.name;
var myFilePath = "~/Desktop/" + "/" + objName + ".jpg"; //export to a folder of the current document
var myFile = new File(myFilePath);
myDoc.exportFile(ExportFormat.jpg, myFile, false);
}
catch(e){}//pasteboard?
}
}
