There is a free script somewhere for doing the same with PDfs - search for "Export selection to PDF". A related tip is that to export all images from an InDesign document you can either export from the Links panel menu: "Copy all links to…" and select a folder (though this will export InCopy files too if you have any). Any cropping made in InDesign will be lost. Or, to keep the image cropping done in InDesign, export the document as a high res PDF, open in Acrobat Pro and go Advanced > Document Processing > Export all images. Select the compression (or Tiff for none) and destination folder. Images are exported with crop as they were in the InDesign file. Good tip, wasn’t aware of the ’selection’ option for Jpeg export.

This was great because I could export a portion of a page with a rough outline on various objects, rasterize it in PS then built the compost object. I can still do it in InDesign and get the HR files but as far as I know I need to do it as a whole page, and PDF seems to work better than EPS, which sometime various "flattened" items are distorted by a pixel from the "stitching". (By the way, I hate that term, it is a binding term not a page layout term) There was an Xpert Tool Xtension for Quark that I used to use a lot that would export a selection as an EPS.

(An external composition zone.) I'm pretty sure you can turn the shared items in a composition zone back into regular content, editable in the original layout, but I can't figure out how.
