InDesign Layers

[James_Catalano]

I have a InDesign file that was built with 128 layers each containing CMYK content. I need to export the file to create 128 separate PDF files, one for each layer. Is this able to be done??

Hi James,

Try this:

var myDoc = app.activeDocument,
myLayer = myDoc.layers,
L = myLayer.length;
for (var l = 0; l < L; l++)  myLayer.visible = false;
for (var p = 0; p < L; p++)
    {
        myLayer
.visible = true;
        myDoc.exportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType, File(myDoc.filePath + "/" + myLayer
.name + ".pdf"), false);
        myLayer
.visible = false;      
    }
for (var l = 0; l < L; l++)  myLayer.visible = true;

… To be validated!
