Hi Kai,

Thanks for this sharing this code. I am having success with the page range but no luck with selecting my Export preset. I tried using the following:

var myPDFExportPreset = app.pdfExportPresets.item(“Monthly_Rat”)

myDocument.exportFile(
ExportFormat.pdfType,
File(Folder.desktop + “/ExportPageRangeAsPDF.pdf”),
true, myPDFExportPreset
);

Note: I know these preset settings do not work because the “Monthly_Rat” does not appear and the PDF that gets created does not contain the correct attributes when I few them via properties.

Thanks in advance for any additional assistance you can provide.

Hi David,

Sorry for the delay. I tested this script and it worked for me perfectly.

Thanks. :-)

Hi Masood Ahmad,

Thanks, I appreciate your reply and will take a look at this video.

P.S. Some paragraphs contain text following ” – ” and I want to leave those paragraphs asis.

@kboulier74 thanks for your reply. I am familiar with both of the scripts you mention. However, what I need is a way for InDesign to process multiple data merge “files” not records. Apologies if this wasn’t clear in the original post.
