      Hey guys, I tried to find out how to export INDD file to Photoshop with layers but still have no luck.
      I have to mention that I need it on Windows.
      Can someone help me out with this?
      Thanks

      InDesign can’t export to Photoshop. You can try via PDF or EPS/AI, but what that does to layers I’ve no idea.

      Unfortunately, I don’t know any way to do this on Windows, other than exporting one layer at a time as a PDF, then opening each and combining in Photoshop.

      On the Mac, there is an AppleScript that does this:

      David,

      The script works great, however one thing I would tweak would be to change the application versions to their bundle id’s to eliminate needing to update the year throughout the script every time you update InDesign and Photoshop.

      Change Application version lines
      tell application 'Adobe Photoshop 2023" and tell application "Adobe InDesign 2020" (or which ever year of the applications you are running, these were just the years that were in the version of the script I downloaded)

      to bundle id’s
      tell application id "com.adobe.Photoshop" and tell application id "com.adobe.InDesign"

      Maybe consult with Rob Day about this, he may have a reason why he didn’t do this, but it sure would save a lot of head aches and people having to modify the script.
