Script of the Month: InDesign to Photoshop Layers
This script can be used to convert InDesign documents to layered Photoshop files.
Despite being software siblings, InDesign and Photo- shop don’t connect in some of the ways you might hope they would. For example, there’s no easy way to convert an InDesign layout to a layered Photoshop document. Fortunately, there are some third-party solutions, including a script by Luis Felipe Corullón, which is our Script of the Month.

Arg, I’ve only had a chance to read ID Mag and note the cut-off date for downloading the app is 31 March. Any chance it can be extended?
Ignore my previous comment. I’ve re-read the article in ID Mag and note it’s March 2022. Just downloading now thank you.
Enjoy the script :)
Why would you even want to do this? As a commercial printer I’ve seen more than enough brochures -and even a 64 page book- come to me done in Photoshop.
It’s definitely not intended as a substitute for a PDF in commercial printing workflows, but there are lots of other legit uses, mostly when there’s a need to repurpose designed content from layouts for the web, etc. For some folks this script and others like it are a lifesaver.
Where can I download the script? Mine disappeared out of InDesign where it was before.
