well, there would always be something in the jobnumber text field.
Say I had three records in the datamerge file that were say "Avocado", "Burnt Sienna" and "pnga-0431". If I filled the "jobnumber" text field with that information then I should be able save each file with the names "Avocado.jpg", "Burnt Sienna.jpg" and "pnga-0431.jpg" respectively. Is that correct?

Maybe something like this?

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Labeled textFrame "jobnumber";
Label a textFrame by selecting it in the ui and then use the script palette, label toggle > enter a string such as "jobnumber in the field.

var co = pg[i].textFrames.item("jobnumber").contents;

ad.exportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType, File(docpath+"/"+docname.split(".indd")[0]+"_"+jobnumber+".pdf"), false, myPDFExportPreset);
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Logically it would go something like this:
myFilename = contents of text box labeled "jobnumber"
Save file as "jpg" with docpath of ("/" + "myFilename" + .jpg)

Does that sound do-able?

Thanks,
Randy
