[CS3] [JS] Export PDF to the same folder as the InDesign file

Dear MN1958,

    I read your msg,

Here get the File path and pass this path in to Export PDF time.

Here the below Script

//========================== Export PDF ================================//

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;

var myDocName = myDoc.name;

var myFolder = myDoc.filePath;

var myBaseName=myDocName.split(".indd")[0];

var t1 = String(myFolder);
var t2= t1.split("/");
for(var i=0; i<t2.length-1; i++)
{
Final  = Final+t2[i]+"/";
}

var ExPDFs= File(Final+myBaseName + ".pdf");
pdfPreset = app.pdfExportPresets.item("Sample");
myDoc.exportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType, ExPDFs, false, pdfPreset);

myDoc.close(SaveOptions.NO);

//========================== End  - Export PDF Script ================================//

Please use the above script and enjoy....

Thanks & Regards

Hi

  Please another another one time check it out..

//Do not open the PDF Export dialog box. Set "false" to "true" if you want the dialog box.

myDoc.exportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType, myFile, false, "Press Quality");

Instead I used

var ExPDFs= File(Final+myBaseName + ".pdf");
pdfPreset = app.pdfExportPresets.item("Sample");

myDoc.exportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType, ExPDFs, false, pdfPreset);

Here I think u made mistake in "pdfPreset " passing argument...

I used Sample -> PDF Preset name, but u passing PDF Preset is directly [Press Quality]... thats all.

Then how come u say this script is not working....like that?.

I used this script in my Projects U know?.

Please try to reveal and check throughly after that U say the word "Thanks for your suggestion, but it did not work."

"......"

OK.

This is the script that i use, let me know if you would like the .jsx version so you can edit it.

UI might be in danish, don't remember.

This line:

pdf = File (String (app.documents[0].fullName).replace (/\.indd$/, ".pdf"));

returns a file object you can export to. Its name is the full path name of the active document with the .indd extension replaced with .pdf.
