Setting PDF export options and exporting pages separately

The following example sets the PDF export options before exporting:
//ExportEachPageAsPDF.jsx
//An InDesign CS2 JavaScript
//Exports each page of an InDesign CS document as a separate PDF to
//a selected folder using the current PDF export settings.
//Display a "choose folder" dialog box.
if(app.documents.length != 0){
var myFolder = Folder.selectDialog ("Choose a Folder");
if(myFolder != null){
myExportPages(myFolder);
}
}
else{
alert("Please open a document and try again.");
}
function myExportPages(myFolder){
var myPageName, myFilePath, myFile;
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
var myDocumentName = myDocument.name;
var myDialog = app.dialogs.add();
with(myDialog.dialogColumns.add().dialogRows.add()){
staticTexts.add({staticLabel:"Base name:"});
var myBaseNameField = textEditboxes.add({editContents:myDocumentName, minWidth:160});
}
var myResult = myDialog.show({name:"ExportPages"});
if(myResult == true){
var myBaseName = myBaseNameField.editContents;
//Remove the dialog box from memory.
myDialog.destroy();
for(var myCounter = 0; myCounter < myDocument.pages.length; myCounter++){
myPageName = myDocument.pages.item(myCounter).name;
app.pdfExportPreferences.pageRange = myPageName;
//The name of the exported files will be the base name + the
//page name + ".pdf".
//If the page name contains a colon (as it will if the document
//contains sections),
//then remove the colon.
var myRegExp = new RegExp(":","gi");
myPageName = myPageName.replace(myRegExp, "_");
myFilePath = myFolder + "/" + myBaseName + "_" + myPageName + ".pdf";
myFile = new File(myFilePath);
myDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType, myFile, false);
}
}
else{
myDialog.destroy();
}
}
The next example shows an example set of PDF export preferences (this set is not complete—no security
features are changed).
//ExportPDFWithOptions.jsx
//An InDesign CS2 JavaScript
//Sets PDF export options, then exports the active document as PDF.
with(app.pdfExportPreferences){
//Basic PDF output options.
pageRange = PageRange.allPages;
acrobatCompatibility = AcrobatCompatibility.acrobat6;
