CHAPTER 3: Documents Exporting Pages as EPS 48 Exporting PDF with Interactive Features The following script shows how to export a document with interactive features as a PDF. (For the complete script, see ExportInteractivePDF.) //Given a document "myDocument," add page transitions... for(var myCounter = 0; myCounter < myDocument.spreads.length; myCounter++){ myDocument.spreads.item(myCounter).pageTransitionType PageTransitionTypeOptions.wipeTransition; myDocument.spreads.item(myCounter).pageTransitionDirection = PageTransitionDirectionOptions.down; myDocument.spreads.item(myCounter).pageTransitionDuration = PageTransitionDurationOptions.medium; } app.interactivePDFExportPreferences.flipPages = true; app.interactivePDFExportPreferences.flipPagesSpeed = 5; app.interactivePDFExportPreferences.openInFullScreen = true; app.interactivePDFExportPreferences.interactivePDFInteractiveElementsOption = InteractivePDFInteractiveElementsOptions.includeAllMedia; //Export the document to PDF. myDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.interactivePDF,File(Folder.desktop + "/InteractivePDF.pdf"), false); Exporting Pages as EPS When you export a document as EPS, InDesign saves each page of the file as a separate EPS graphic (an EPS, by definition, can contain only a single page). If you export more than a single page, InDesign appends the index of the page to the filename. The index of the page in the document is not necessarily the name of the page (as defined by the section options for the section containing the page). Exporting all pages to EPS The following script exports the pages of the active document to one or more EPS files. (For the complete script, see ExportAsEPS.) var myFile = new File("/c/myTestFile.eps"); app.activeDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.epsType, myFile, false); Exporting a range of pages to EPS To control which pages are exported as EPS, set the page range property of the EPS export preferences to a page-range string containing the page or pages you want to export, before exporting. (For the complete script, see ExportPageRangeAsEPS.) //Enter the name of the page you want to export in the following line. //Note that the page name is not necessarily the index of the page in the //document (e.g., the first page of a document whose page numbering starts //with page 21 will be "21", not 1). app.epsExportPreferences.pageRange = "1-3, 6, 9"; var myFile = new File("/c/myTestFile.eps"); app.activeDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.epsType, myFile, false);

Exporting Pages as EPS

Exporting PDF with Interactive Features

The following script shows how to export a document with interactive features as a PDF. (For the complete

script, see ExportInteractivePDF.)

//Given a document "myDocument," add page transitions...

for(var myCounter = 0; myCounter < myDocument.spreads.length; myCounter++){

myDocument.spreads.item(myCounter).pageTransitionType

PageTransitionTypeOptions.wipeTransition;

myDocument.spreads.item(myCounter).pageTransitionDirection =

PageTransitionDirectionOptions.down;

myDocument.spreads.item(myCounter).pageTransitionDuration =

PageTransitionDurationOptions.medium;

}

app.interactivePDFExportPreferences.flipPages = true;

app.interactivePDFExportPreferences.flipPagesSpeed = 5;

app.interactivePDFExportPreferences.openInFullScreen = true;

app.interactivePDFExportPreferences.interactivePDFInteractiveElementsOption =

InteractivePDFInteractiveElementsOptions.includeAllMedia;

//Export the document to PDF.

myDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.interactivePDF,File(Folder.desktop +

"/InteractivePDF.pdf"), false);

Exporting Pages as EPS

When you export a document as EPS, InDesign saves each page of the file as a separate EPS graphic (an

EPS, by definition, can contain only a single page). If you export more than a single page, InDesign

appends the index of the page to the filename. The index of the page in the document is not necessarily

the name of the page (as defined by the section options for the section containing the page).

Exporting all pages to EPS

The following script exports the pages of the active document to one or more EPS files. (For the complete

script, see ExportAsEPS.)

var myFile = new File("/c/myTestFile.eps");

app.activeDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.epsType, myFile, false);

Exporting a range of pages to EPS

To control which pages are exported as EPS, set the

page

range

property of the EPS export preferences to

a page-range string containing the page or pages you want to export, before exporting. (For the complete

script, see ExportPageRangeAsEPS.)

//Enter the name of the page you want to export in the following line.

//Note that the page name is not necessarily the index of the page in the

//document (e.g., the first page of a document whose page numbering starts

//with page 21 will be "21", not 1).

app.epsExportPreferences.pageRange = "1-3, 6, 9";

var myFile = new File("/c/myTestFile.eps");

app.activeDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.epsType, myFile, false);
