Enhance the new Suffix feature for exporting single Pages or single Spreads as PDF
The new Suffix feature allows three parameters: ^#, ^P and ^S. So far so good.
To make the feature complete I would suggest a couple of other parameters:
^N for page names
Page names like i, ii, iii or a, b, c or 001, 002, 003 would be possible.
Also names like 200 for the first page in a document that starts with 200 for page one.
^X for section prefixes ( max. of 8 characters )
^A for names of Alternate Layouts
^W for width of page
^H for height of page
^Pt , ^mm, ^In etc.pp. for unit ( unit conversion from actual ruler units to desired ones )
That would make exported names possible like that:
DocumentName_150 mm x 297 mm_01.pdf
even if the rulers show different units.
Prefix string would be:
_^H ^mm x ^W ^mm_^#
In addition to all that: Please double or tripple the width of the Suffix editing field. That would be convenient for typing longer strings.
Thanks for consideration!

I can't make it work! It exports a file with "_^H ^mm x ^W ^mm_^#" at the end of the name.
But when I use "_^P" it actually numbers it!

Is there an option that allows the page text as the suffix?
I have one word on each page/spread and I need to export the files separately with the names in the pages. -

^BK for bookmark export

Would be great to have also ^L for exporting each layer of a same page.
Any advice on that?
In need of indesign layers or each object in a single .psd file. -
Cory Heneker commented
why stop at just one text variable - we have a need to export with a separate variable for each page
-
Wolf Kamm commented
How about allowing at least one text variable?

Option for a prefix would be infinitely useful (as suggested above).
Also if we could have the option to not save the PDFs in a folder of their own.

Prefix using the bookmarks name would be awesome!

Schön wäre auch, Datenfelder aus verknüpften csv- oder txt-Dateien zur verwenden, um z.B. eine Serie Visitenkarten als vereinzelte PDFs mit den entsprechenden Namen auszugeben.

yes - an option for prefix as well as suffix would be ideal
