: How to export layers as files in InDesign I have a one-page document with approximately 150 different layers, each containing an individual set of user credentials. I'm now looking to print 150

@Kristi927

Try this:
in menu window > utility > script
In script panel open Application > javascript and right-click on one file (example AddGuides.jsx) and select Show in Finder
Duplicate the file in Finder and rename in PagesFromLayers.jsx and now open it with simple text editor.
Paste this code:



var myPage;
var myItems;
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
for (var i=0;i<myDoc.layers.length;i++){ // for each layers...
myPage = myDoc.pages.add(); // ...create a page...
myItems = myDoc.layers[i].allPageItems;
for (var k=0;k<myItems.length;k++){ //...and for each objects in layer...
myItems[k].duplicate(myPage); //...duplicate in the new page!
}
}


Save PagesFromLayers.jsx file and return in InDesign, open the file with multi-layers, double clik on PagesFromLayers.jsx (in script panel) and enjoy ;)
