    I just wanted to follow up to say that I think I figured out a workflow for the undergrads. I was able to modify the script to find two object styles. I duplicated the script just in case I screwed things up.

    I appreciate the help with this. Hope you are and yours stay healthy and safe. Have an awesome day.

    I want to thank you again for this script. It worked like a charm. I used this for our graduating law class. We have our undergrad virtual commencement coming up in a couple of weeks.

    I have another request that I’m happy to pay for if it is in your wheelhouse.

    An Applescript or Automator action to take an image file, copy it, rename it based on a CSV/TXT file [Last Name and First Name columns] and rename it to lastname_firstname.png

    This will help me use the InDesign script you created to export each page with the correct name. Unless, of course, a modified version of this script could use the CSV/TXT file to export a JPG file with lastname_firstname?

    It’s the weekend so you don’t need to respond right away. Thanks for your help.

    This is awesome. I just ran a test with the updated script and it works like a charm. I owe you a virtual beer or something. Let me know how I can show my appreciation.

    Thanks, David. The quote turning “curly” is was the problem to make it run.

    However, I think I need the script to recognize the object style in order to create the newly named file. I think. I wish my brain could comprehend scripting a bit more to create it from scratch.

    I see that there is a timely post on the front page about breaking a Javascript. :)

    Hey Brian,
    I appreciate the help. I tested it this morning but I am getting a syntax error on Line 8.

    I also have an object style applied to the portrait image if that helps the script grab the right image on the page. My object style is called “Portrait”

    Thanks for helping me out with this.

    I’ve been trying to figure this out by seeing if another script can get me part of the way there but no dice.

    Ah, I see. There is an export layer option. I didn’t see that at first.

    Now I can create a text layer and just export the text that I need the editor to work on.

    Thanks, Kai. I’ve been watching the Lynda.com videos all day today. Luckily, it is a slow day. I think I can convince them now.

    Ah, that makes sense. Maybe something got corrupted. I do have some tomaxxi scripts and plugins. There is a layer plugin and maybe that started to compete with the object layer options for some reason.

    I recently moved to a new Mac and I’ve found various bugs between Sierra and CC2017. I usually don’t have any problems with upgrades.

    This is issue has been solved. I was unaware of the difference between the qwerty numbers and the numeric keypad numbers. I recently got a wireless keyboard.
