We produce a 40 page publication fortnightly and have just upgraded to InDesign 2 from PM6.5. We export each page of our publication to PDF and email the individual files to our printers interstate. 

I'm wondering if there is a way to speed up or automate this process? I know ID2 supports scripting but I don't have the heart to tackle the 610 page scripting guide yet. 

Ideally I'd like to be able to specify a range (i.e. 1-6,8,11,32-40) to export and have those pages saved as individual PDFs. Does anyone have any suggestions where I could start or if there might be a script that I could customise? Any help would be appreciated. 

Cheers, 
Scott
