InDesign CS6 - Export selected pages OR Select all objects on page

Question

I'm looking for a way in InDesign CS6 to do one or both of the following:

1) Export one or more pages based on the selection in the Pages panel without relying on the Range selector in the Export panel.

2) Select all items in the current page, not in the current spread, using a shortcut and whithout separating the page from the spread first.

Note: I'm exporting to PNG.

Answer 1

Regarding #1, I posted an answer on a similar post where I used a script to exclude "draft" pages. Perhaps you could use that, or flip the script to only include pages that you mark?

As for #2, that can be accomplished with a script. Give this a try:

var currentPage = app.activeWindow.activePage; // Find the active page.

ItemsOnPage = currentPage.pageItems.length; // Get the number of items on the page.

for (var i=0; i<ItemsOnPage; i++) // Loop through every item.
{
    currentPage.pageItems.everyItem().select(); // Select every item.
}
