pdf from Indesign 1 per page

[Alien]

Thanks to ALL.

1. Yes, Prinergy Connect can accept 160 pages pdf. But in future we plan buy Kodak Insite. Not all customers have good Internet, that is why is better to send job page by page.

2. Yes, Prinergy Connect version 4.1 can use both CPSI and APPE RIP, but we just begin to work (new business), and on the first step I plan to use CPSI RIP.

I found JavaScript which exports single pages from an InDesign document in PostScript, PDF, EPS or JPEG formats.

Axaio MadeToPrint for InDesign. You can export single page PDF, EPS and PostScript. You can also create "versioned" documents by defining which layers, layer combinations, etc. are processed. Once that is done you can also control the naming conventions based on the above parameters. Well worth the money. It's the most flexible print/export plug-in available for InDesign and Quark print production (generating output documents) in my opinion. Yes, I sell it, but I also believe it. Download the demo and see for yourself. It's a fully functional 30 day demo.

... but if you install PitStop, you then have an option to save the modified PDF with its original version.

(but I am quite surprised that a Prinergy workflow needs 1 PDF for each page??? normally, it should accept a 160 pages PDF...)

It seems yet another benefit of sticking to PDFx standards!
I do not get change of version. So "Allways" is not true.
There is also the Document>splitdocument that can be configured to 1(one) pages.

But if it only for a problem of size, and only to send docs with internet, it's perhaps not necessary to split a 160 pages PDF in 160 PDF: you can perhaps limit the splitting and make 20 or 30 or 40 pages files...???

(I don't know how other printers handle this problem, but for me receiving 160 PDFs of one page is a pain in the ass... and in that case, I'll ask the customer to redo its job and send me a single PDF, or I'll charge him many hours of extra work!)

You can add a script to InDesign that will export the pages as single page PDF files and name them exactly as you want, I use APID just because its free and it serves my purpose.

Insite will accept a 160 page document the problem is connection and file transfer time. If the connection is lost you will have to start all over again. The other problem with this is Insite will break this pdf into single pages and will put a number at the end of the file name as it is in the pdf, 160page.1, 160page.2, 160page.3.... So when you need to upload a correction page what will you call it? More than likely if it is page 3 you will name it "page3.pdf". Now you will have 2 page 3's. So it is better to upload them as single pages and name them exactly the same everytime you have a revision, this way eveytime you upload a correction it overwrites the old file.

Here you can see how Callas pdfToolbox 4.3 can split the document into single pages. You could use this action as part of your website with the CLI or SDK or as part of the Server product. One thing to note is that pdfToolbox Server/CLI/SDK can generate JPEG's or EPS's of the pages.
