InDesign: Export all pages as PDF

Post by pfischer »

Hello together,

this is my issue: I always want to export an overall PDF from different InDesign files.

If the InDesign file was saved formerly with a page range in the export dialog, the InDesign configurator accesses this page range when exporting.
Is there a way to override this setting and always export all pages, do I have to use a script or would that be a feature request for the InDesign configurator?


Thanks for your help!

What you can do is executing a small InDesign Script before the PDF export so it resets the page range parameter to "ALL PAGES"

And the jsx script is this one liner:

Code: Select all

app.pdfExportPreferences.pageRange = PageRange.ALL_PAGES;
