Indesign CS6 Scripting - Exporting images

Question

I\'m having trouble writing a js script in indesign cs6 to export my formatted images. the code below (found on this website and slightly modified) only opens the document.<

Answer 1

The file name isn't located on the rectangle but on the link related to the placed graphic. This should do what you want given an open document:

test();



function test() {

    var myDoc = app.activeDocument, apis = myDoc.allPageItems, rect, fileName;


    while ( rect = apis.pop() )
    {
        if ( !(rect instanceof Rectangle) || !rect.graphics[0].isValid ){ continue; }

        fileName = File ( rect.graphics[0].itemLink.filePath ).name;
        fileName = fileName.replace( /\.[a-z]{2,4}$/i, '.jpg' );

        app.jpegExportPreferences.exportResolution = 300;
        app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegQuality = JPEGOptionsQuality.MAXIMUM;

        //give it a unique name
        var myFile = new File (Folder.desktop+"/"+ fileName);

        rect.exportFile(ExportFormat.JPG, myFile);
    }
}
