    Sorry for the delayed response.

    Jongware asked:

    You mean, you'd want add all of the layers in each document added to all other documents?

    I would like a menu of all the layers in the book. Then I can select the ones I want to use for the export.

    The issue is that the book has 70+ separate documents, some of which are shared with other books that have different sets of layers. No one layer cuts across all the files.

    B/c each document in the book has to be opened to select the correct layers each time I want to export a different version, it takes a long time to set up the book for exporting. Your script seemed like the perfect answer (and yes, I think adobe should give you a commission!)

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    David, it can be scripted but only if all layer names across the entire book are the same.

    and

    It checks all layers of all documents, and builds a list of just the ones that occur in every book.

    I installed the script and it works, but it isnt bringing up the box to select layers. The error message I get says that I don't have layers that run throughout all of the files in the book. This is true–and is exactly why a script would be so helpful! :)

    The book I have to export has lots of shared files and lots of different layers. Is it possible to write a script that would bring up all the layers throughout all the files in the book and allow me to select only the layers I need to export a particular version?

    This would save me hundreds of hours of turning layer comps on and off!
