Export Scripting Help

$

Oh great script gurus... I'm no code monkey and have a very basic knowledge of scripting, however I have a workflow that is just begging for an autoscript.

 

Our files are laid out as such:

Project_Number_Page1_Base.indd

Project_Number_Page2_Base.indd

(etc.)

 

Within each file are multiple layers of course:

Guides

Background

A

B

C

(etc.)

 

When we export to PDF, we export as follows:

Project_Number_Page1_A.pdf

Project_Number_Page1_B.pdf

Project_Number_Page1_C.pdf

Project_Number_Page2_A.pdf

Project_Number_Page2_B.pdf

Project_Number_Page2_C.pdf

(etc)

 

Within each file, "Background" is always present, and the A, B, and C layers switch off respectively.

 

Current process is to show/hide each layer and export one at a time. I'm certain there's a way to script this for pages where we have 8 or 10 different layers.

 

I, however, lack the scripting skills to pull this off. Can you guys lend a hand? Please, slainté, prost, aloha, konichiwa, and thank you!

 

Brett
