Developing plug-in for Indesign CC
Hi,
I am developing a plug-in for Adobe Indesign CC. Based on BasicSelectableDialog plug-in(sample plug-in given in SDK' s folder) i am developing this one. There are 2 panels, Yin and Yang panels are available in BasicSelectableDialog plug-in. I have added the below code in Yin panel.
.fr file:

Completed the design part and i would like to know where should i implement the code for this. For example, in the Yin panel i have projectpath and choose button,while choosing the button i need to go to my local path. so i want to know where should i write the code. Its my first plug-in.so please guide me.
Thanks in Advance.
@DetonateDesign – ask the developer of this ExtendScript script…
Just out of curiosity: what will happen exactly, if you run this script?
What is the version of InDesign it was developed for?
(Never heard of that script. Who is the developer?)

Can I use MSVC 2013 to develop plug-in for InDesign CC 2014?
The minimum requirement is MSVC 2012 SP4. I wonder if the latest version will work also. Thanks.
Right now, we don't have a cross platform answer.
Most people are writing to the platform native APIs, or using some UI toolkit that works with the platform of choice. Larger plugin developers have their own UI code toolkits.
ADM was always more problem than solution, and became too big a problem to maintain (you'll notice that our plugins that use ADM went away or became scripts).
We're working on better solutions now. -
I want to know if there is a third party out there making plug-ins for Indesign CS6 specifically for interactive PDF buttons and forms which allows for better control over text boxes.... ie. date formatting, 1-10 characters per text boxes, etc.
Not that I've heard of. You'll have to tweak those features in Acrobat Pro.

Developing plug-ins for BEA Weblogic Studio
Can anyone provide pointers on documentation on developing plug-ins for BEA Weblogic Studio (e.g like this one https://beajunitplugin.projects.dev2dev.bea.com/ )
Regards,
-Nfilm leaders clips can be downloaded online if you dig around a bit ... Peter Wiggins has a nice Motion Template clock he offers for free (which is a bargain by anyones reckoning)
easy enough to create your own film leader style countdown with a few back to back text generators separated by clock wipe transitions
color bars can already found in your fcp video generators bin
color bars and a film leader style countdown can also be auto generated during output (print to video and edit to tape)
distort faces and license plate like they do on tv? ... ok i give up, what do you mean? if you mean you want to disguise them (Mosaic, Blur etc) then you can have a bash with my Region Blur plugin

Can one develop plug-ins for Photoshop Touch?
I have a few Plug-ins for Photoshop CS, can I develop plug-ins for Photoshop Touch for Tablets?
I would love for there to be a way of using my favorite plug-ins within PS Touch but I imagine that's a little more complicated than using the standard 8BF plug-in standby.

Hi how/where do I upgrade plug-ins for InDesign CS6 6.0.6?
Hi how/where do I upgrade plug-ins for InDesign CS6 6.0.6?
6.0.6 is CS4, not CS6 (which is version 8).
Why do you need to upgrade plugins? Are you getting an error message trying to pen a file? That meas the file was saved from a newer version of ID, and you'll need either the newer version, or an IDML file exported from the original. You can't upgrade plugins to make this work. -
Missing plug-ins for InDesign CS4? Fehlende Zusatzmodule für InDesign CS4?
Missing plug-ins for InDesign CS4? Fehlende Zusatzmodule für InDesign CS4?
Hello! Hallo!
I am working with CS4 on the Mac OS X, version 10.6.8. I created some InDesign files with it a couple of weeks ago. When I want to open them now again, it shows me a long list of plug-ins that I supposedly have to activate first or I need to buy the newest CS as an alternative.1. How did this problem come off? 2. How can I activate the missing plug-ins?
Ich arbeite mit CS4 auf einem Mac OS X Version 10.6.8. Habe damit vor einigen Wochen mehrere InDesign Dateien erstellt. Wenn ich sie jetzt wieder öffnen möchte, zeigt er mir eine lange Liste von Zusatzmodulen an, die ich angeblich aktivieren muss bzw als Alternative das aktuellste CS kaufen soll.
1. Wie ist das Problem zustande gekommen? 2. Wie kann ich die benötigten Zusatzmodule aktivieren?
Thank you all! Danke schön!Actually, Indesign only says like "I can't open, because it was saved from a newer version" and does not list any extensions/plugins.
If you now make a new document, save it and open again - will it work?
Those plug-ins are usually enabled/disabled via the Adobe Extension Manager (Menü "Hilfe"->Erweiterungen verwalten). -
PowerPoint plug in for InDesign?
I find myself, as I'm sure many folks do, frequently having to create presentations for PowerPoint users, even though my applications of choice are InDesign and Illustrator. Does anyone know of a plug-in for InDesign that will allow you to create a multi-page document and export it as an actual PowerPoint file (i.e., users can edit,revise, etc.)?
I know you can create a PDF that users could use like a PowerPoint deck, but they can't make changes to the text, move slides around, add content, bullet points, yadda, yadda...If you need to create a PowerPoint file, then use PowerPoint. There's
really no good way to go from ID to PowerPoint.

How do I enable plug-ins for InDesign CS2 - files won't open
How do I enable plug-ins for InDesign CS2 - files won't open.
I own CS2.
I shouldn't have to buy CS6 InDesign.
How do I open CS 2 files and get the plug ins again.Asking the same question over and over will not change the answer.

Blacklining software/plug ins for InDesign Mac
Annoyingly some of my clients want to have changes displayed on the proof. I have been doing this manually which is rather slow using character styles with strikethrough and colour.
InCopy (which I dont own) does have a change tracking feature but only in galley view and that is pretty useless for me mostly because in galley view tables dont display and since I do a lot of annual reports I have a lot of tables. I have to admit that Words change tracking is much, much better.
I have found some blacklining software which costs around GBP700 which is really high-cost and I have been resisting buying it.
Does anyone know of blacklining software for InDesign on the Mac so I can look into buying it.
ThanksThank you all for this wonderful information. I have been experimenting with the various options in Acrobat and it looks like this is the solution.
I doubt very much I can persuade anyone to do markups in Acrobat - thats a bit newfangled for them. Instead I get a faxed pdf of their handwritten markups - it creates an image so there is no text. If they are feeling generous theyll do an Excel table or two so I can insert into the INDD document.
A few minutes ago someone phoned about possible (and lots of) new work which will involve blacklining a lot of proofs - and I can now do it easily. Hope I get this work.
Many thanks for making my day. -

MNRI have spent some time geting Java automation to work with InDesign, it's not my favorite language but I learned some things that may help and put them into some course content that Adobe should put out shortly; will post here when it is available online.
Our company, Silicon Publishing, provides general InDesign Server automation training, though we don't have a current offering that specifically targets Java we teach some of the basics of working with Java (many unique techniques!) and could arrange a limited form of training.
The documentation and samples with the SDK should take you part of the way there: for specific scripts, it has been helpful to us to get things working in an easier-to-write (i.e. JavaScript) script first, then translate such a script to Java, taking into account the unique characteristics of the language and various tactics (outlined in the SDK documentation) to address these.
