Does this function help?

function exportPDF(pageName,preset) {
	var altName = "000".slice(0,3-pageName.length) + pageName;
	var myName = ( "/" + altName + myDoc.name).split(".indd").join(".pdf");
	var myDestFile = File(myFolder.fullName + myName);
	app.pdfExportPreferences.pageRange = pageName;
	myDoc.exportFile("Adobe PDF", myDestFile, false, preset);
} // Close out exportPDF function

I used it to export pages within an InDesign document to individual pages with the file name incorporating the page name as a prefix.
