Interesting. I get the same result. It looks as though exportFile is working on only the frontmost document.

Looks like your instinct was right to try to bring the document to the front, but that means being careful about using the index. This works:

if(app.documents.length != 0){
var myFolder = Folder.selectDialog ("Choose a Folder");
if(myFolder != null){
for(i= 0; app.documents.length > i;i++){
app.activeDocument = app.documents[-1];
myName=app.documents[0].name;
myFile=new File(myFolder+"/"+myName.replace( /\.indd/, '.pdf' ));
app.documents[0].exportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType, myFile, false);
}
}}
