Export selected pages
I very frequently need to export only certain pages to PDF. I know I can type a range or multiple ranges. But it would realy speed up my professional work if I could just select the pages and hit 'Export selected pages...' in the contextual mouse menu.
This feature was present until CS6 by a plugin named HandyTools by DTP Utils.

This would help me a ton.
I'd also add that accessing an "export selected pages" option from the Export window, as suggested by OP, allows you to select a PDF preset, which is important of course if your printer has supplied you with specific presets to make your PDF.I don't believe going through the Print window to make a PDF allows you to select a PDF preset.

I find the Labeled Pages Exporter script. Not exact what you want, but it is ok for me with same need.

This DOES already exist for printing. Select the pages you want in the pages panel, then right-click on one of the pages and choose "Print Spreads" from the context menu. It simply opens the Print dialog box and pre-fills the Range field for you.
I agree it would be great to add "Export Spreads to PDF" to that context menu.

ID-EXTRAS has a script to do this.

I'd love this feature for printing too. Just select the pages you want in the pages panel, then go file > export or print.

Hi Roland,
do you mean export of selected pages in the Pages Panel?
Or also selected pages with the Page Tool?Regards,
