Is there any way to print a 30 page document to Postscript and get 30 individual .ps files? I've been doing it page by page and I'm sick of it. Found a few utilities online, but nothing free. Any scripts or plugins? FREE?

Export as eps and distill them
Indesign exports one eps per page :laugh:

I have a script at work that will do it. I'll post it tomorrow.I think it'll do PS,PDF and ESP. It works for Indesing CS1-4.

The words are audible but I have my doubts

That's right. This was all covered in the "Making the smallest PDF possible" thread, and after much fucking around the best result I've found is to distill Postscript files. I just find it absurd to have to print them one by one from Indy to get single PDFs. The saga continues.

Um, oops. Did I just give you a shove off the wagon?

I'm on it, too. Until Friday, anyway.  :laugh:

I would also go with the export as eps. It will flatten the transparency the same as a ps and will give you separate files to distill.
Murphy must have been in printing....
