Some of the articles on the Colecandoo site feature PDF downloads that can be found at the bottom of the respective articles. These PDFs contain the necessary files required as attachments within the PDFs to attempt what was explained in the articles.
On the other hand, this page features some free useful javascripts, as well as show notes from presentations that I have given.
If you’ve found that any of the Javascripts or other downloads here have been beneficial, saved you time and made you more productive, then perhaps consider a small Contribution.

great script to export to pdf. I search for this a lot. Today I use other metods .
Can you make to export to .jpg with names too?
I have a few scripts here so if you can tell me what script you are referring to specifically, that would be great. If you’re referring to the Data Merge to Unique Names script, that is something in the pipeline, but it will be part of a Pro release… more news will be made available soon.
Take a look into my own version to import styles from a selected document: http://lf.corullon.com.br/scripts_id_lfc/assets/bylfc_importar-o-que-quiser-escolhendo-arquivo-de-origem.rar
That’s a great script. While it’s in Portuguese, it’s easy enough to understand what’s going on.
If you want, I can translate it to English.
I’m just thinking of a wider audience for your script apart from Portugal, Brazil, Timor Leste, Mozambique etc… Marc Autret of Indiscripts has some posts for making UIs multi-lingual – http://www.indiscripts.com/post/2009/08/yet-another-localization-technique-1 and http://www.indiscripts.com/post/2010/07/yalt-2-your-scripting-localization-engine.
That said, it’s something I should do for my scripts as well 😀
Great. Thank you!!! I’ll read those articles!
I can’t use the method Marc discribed in those posts.
But, I find my own way, take a look: http://bit.ly/scripts_lfc
The link directly to the script you tried is: http://lf.corullon.com.br/scripts_id_lfc/assets/bylfc_importar-o-que-quiser-escolhendo-arquivo-de-origem.rar
its possible to export in jpg with names? heres my flow:
I create 4 pages with diferente sizes (1 10×15 other 15×23 and other a4) in a document.
I export that files to a folder in jpg. I have a software that separate the files based on sizes( that returns me each size into a folder) . Then I use a rename software to rename the files based on my datasheet in each folder
Since your script works only with pdf/idml ….I can’t use that.

This script appears to not be working with CC 14.0.2 on Catalina. Looks awesome though. Thanks for all your hard work.
Are you able to advise what script in particular, as there are several on this page.
Your Day of the Week Maker is great! Is there any way to change the format of the date? For example, instead of “day, date month”, change it to “month date, day”?
Once the script is run, run the following find/change GREP: Look for ^([[:alpha:]]+)(,\s)(\d+)(\s)([[:alpha:]]+) and replace it with $5$4$3$2$1
