Set myDialog to make dialog with properties Set myFolder to (choose folder with prompt "Please select the folder you want to save your PNG pages in") as string Set NumberOfPage to pages per document of document preferences of myDocument Set myFileName to (text 1 thru -6 of myFileName) Set page numbering of general preferences to absolute Set myPageNumPref to page numbering of general preferences It creates perfect PNG images, the dpi reports as exactly what you set it to, the cross-spine bleeds match up, and the antialiasing quality is better… BUT it takes 12 seconds per page to process, so the whole book is a 50+ minute export.ĭisplay dialog "Please open a document" buttons " OK " default button 1 with icon caution I have an alternative InDesign script, which generates a multipage pdf, then feeds that a page at a time into Photoshop, which saves the pages out as PNG. If I open the PNGs in Photoshop, they show up as 215.11dpi, and more problematically, images that bleed across the book’s spine don’t match up perfectly - there’s some sort of cropping or scaling by ~1pixel going on. The problem, is that Render PDF Pages as Images seems to use some iffy maths when rendering out those images.
The applescripts turn off the system’s sub-pixel antialiasing (which was putting red/blue halos around text) then re-enable it. I had created a nice Automator workflow, with help from here, which when combined with an InDesign script that output the document as individual pages in PDF format, let me select all (or any of) those PDFs, right click, and within a couple of minutes, I’d have a folder full of PNG files of the pages.
I’ve been trying to build a workflow for a while now, the goal being to take a 236page InDesign document, and render out all the pages as images, so they can be put into a fixed-layout EPUB.įor various reasons, I’m using CS5 versions of InDesign etc, so there’s no direct PNG or Fixed-Layout EPUB output.
