Hello, I am a developer of a CEP extension for Illustrator. With the release of Illustrator on Windows for ARM devices on the way, I would like to ask would current CEP extensions still work on Illustrator on Windows for ARM devices? If CEP extensions won't work on those devices, what can we do? Will the extension needs to migrate to the UXP framework? 

First, my apologies if this posted to the wrong forum. It seems the "new" CEP forum has already disappeared after just two years (or less, most likely). Now I have successfully created an Adobe CEP extension, but it was a very simple one and I was able to do so with just simple HTML and JavaScript. I did manage to get TypeScript working with it (both in the js and the jsx contexts), but it was still mostly meant as a means for me to get my feet wet with CEP and TypeScript. I now have a much larger project. One that is at least two or three of orders of magnitude larger. I would still like to leverage TypeScript on this project and use OOP principles (of which I am still learning as I go), but I also see that it might be helpful to also leverage a framework so I won't have to reinvent the wheel when it comes to many common actions. For example, I'll need this panel to interact with a MySQL database. Now, I could just add t

Hi, We are manintaining an old CEP IND Extension for all our customers.Until now, we used ZXPSignCmd.exe to build the ZXP and sign it using a *.p12 format cert. Our 3 year old DigiCert code signing cert expies in 1 (!!!) day. I got a new cert from DigiCert, but a private key is no longer provided due to the new FIPS standard. Thefore, ZXPSignCmd.exe cannot be used. How do a create the ZXP and and sign it without a private key (*.p12 format cert)? Tomorrow our customers will no longer be able to use our software!!!TIA!mlavie

I'm maintaining a plugin for Creative Suite, and trying to build installers for both Mac and Windows.  I'm able to use `ZXPSignCmdMac -sign ... ` and get output "Signed successfully".  The resulting .zxp files appear valid, in that I am able to build mac installers based on them that install properly and work as advertised.  However, my attempts to sign and build windows installers are failing with "Zxp signature verification failed: 50".  In attempting to troubleshoot this, I tried running "ZXPSignCmdMac -verify" on the same files generated above that appeared to "Sign successfully", and I get: ""Error - Failed to verify signature. Signature might have been tampered with."I'm confused as to why signing could appear successful, when something is definitely amiss.  NOTE: I've tried ZXPSignCmd-64bit, too, with similar results.$ bin/ZXPSignCmd-64bit -sign dist/g "foo.zxp" certs/5310dab17e8e15-SHA2.p12 `cat certs/5310dab17e8e15-SHA2.pass` -tsa http://time

We have a CEP extension with Node.JS enabled (uses CEP 6.0). The node server requires some modules which are compilled C++ addons. Following is the process I have been using to get Apple GateKeeper to allow the extension to run:1) Invididually sign each of the (compiled C++ addons) modules with my Apple Developer ID (Application)2) Sign the final product with my Adobe Certificate using ZXPSignCmd tool3) Convert the package into a ZIP file and get it notarized by Apple The procedure has been working fine until After Effects 2020. Now Afer Effects is throwing the error: "code signature in (path-to-compiled-module) not valid for use in process using Library Validation: mapping process and mapped file (non-platform) have different Team IDs" The server is not allowed to run when these modules are present. Is this because After Effects 2020 has been signed by Adobe as a hardeened runtime without the com.apple.security.cs.disable-library-validation entitleme

I can't get the ExtendScript Debug extension to work in my VScode. I am new to this extension and have tried to follow several walk-throughs along with reading through forum posts to try and understand what I need to do to set it up to work correctly.When I first set it up and tried to debug I got the option to select Adobe Illustrator 28.064 and nothing happened in my Adobe Illustrator. I then went to help and "about illustrator" in the application and I have 28.5 installed but its not an option in the dropdown I get in VScode. So I thought perhaps the extension hadn't been updated and only supports up to the 28.064 version of Illustrator. So I reverted to Illustrator 28.0 and tried again to run the debug with the same results. It's running but I am not seeing the simple alert that I am using to test to see if it's working correctly. Which consist of  alert("test test"); When I run it I see that I have the same Adobe Illustrator 28.064 to choose from even though it says

Hi, I have uninstalled plugins that I don't want anymore, but they won't go away from "Manage plugins" in the Creative Cloud app. When I go to exchange.adobe.com they show as "Acquired".(Windows 10) How do I remove the uninstalled plugins completely from the Creative Cloud account?                 Above: manage plugins tab in the Creative Cloud app 

Hi.  It appears there is some sort of scaling being applied to the panel content within CEP.  Note the difference between the two screenshots below.  The first is running within Chrome 65.  The second is the same content running within Photoshop.  Looks to me like device / viewport emulation in the CEP panel.  I double-checked that Chrome was set to 100% zoom.  The screenshots were taken on a Surface Pro 3.  I had previously worked around this issue by applying a CSS zoom to the body, but this is no longer an option because it creates issues with the Angular Material framework.Is there a way to control / avoid this scaling?Kind regards,-Brian

I purchased the plugin PDF2ID on Adobe Exchange. I have a receipt that I received via email but I'm not seeing where it has been installed or I'm able to install it in Adobe Indesign. I purchased this plug-in on Friday morning. I sent multiple emails to Adobe and to the company that is managing the plug-in (Fastspring) on a Adobe exchange and I have received no response. I just need help in getting the plug-in installed and indesign so I can use it. 

Hi I can't convert my listing from perpetual to subscription. How is this done?  

Today I added a new build of ZXPSignCMD to the CEP Resources github repo: https://github.com/Adobe-CEP/CEP-Resources/tree/master/ZXPSignCMD   If you experience problems with ZXPSignCMD 4.1.1, please let me know here.

Hi, I am developing a CEP extension that will work immediately after the application is launched. Works in Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign. The extension will run resident and output a work log regardless of whether the UI panel appears or not. User controls the extension's work log output with a check box on the UI panel. The UI panel can be opened and closed at the user's discretion as needed. The reference is the Invisible HTML Extensions example from CEP_9.x. CEP 9.0 HTML Extension Cookbook.md       <Lifecycle> <AutoVisible>false</AutoVisible> <StartOn> <!-- PS dispatches this event on startup --> <Event>applicationActivate</Event> <!-- PPro dispatches this event on startup --> <!-- <Event>com.adobe.csxs.events.ApplicationActivate</Event> --> </StartOn> </Lifecycle> <UI> <Type>Panel</Type> <Menu>foo</Menu> <Geometry> <Size> &

I want to make integrations with magento 2. For that purpose, i need to setup a test magento store where i can check my progress by hitting the APIs. I  have gone through multiple resources, where some suggest to setup local store on our own system. I am not sure via which method or from where the store has to be setup, so that i can make and test my system's integraion with it. I want to setup demo store on magento2. Please guide me a way through this. Thank you for your support.

I have written and want to publish jsx sript for Adobe's Illustrator through https://developer.adobe.com/distributeScript is written in extendscript only, it  does not use any CEP features.All FAQ's and help I was able to muster deal extensively with CEP. Is its possible?How? thank you!

So I was trying some different XD plugins and after the fact wanted to get rid of them.  In the CC Desktop app you can uninstall but they still sit there and I can't find a way in the UI to remove them.  Surely there is a way to remove plugins from the CC Desktop application once they've been uninstalled? Otherwise do I need to remove an installation folder manually?  If so where are they found on a Windows setup?

Hi all: Just thought I'd plug my tutorial here, since it seems that there's very little updated documentation out there on the C++ SDK. I go over the basics of building a C++ plugin for Photoshop, along with some neat tricks here and there: http://www.sonictk.com/post/tutorial-photoshop-cpp-recipes/ (was requested to crosspost this here): 

I'm exploring Adobe CEP for use in After Effects.I've already written HTML and am currently using main.js to handle button responses. When the button is clicked, it executes a JSX function. HTML(part):<div id="Panel"> <label for="lensSelect">Select:</label> <select id="Select"> <option value="A">A</option> <option value="B">B</option> <option value="C">C</option> </select> <button id="Button">Button</button> </div> main.js(part):Button.addEventListener('click', function () { // Get selected Lens const Select = document.getElementById('Select'); const selected = Select.value; // Define functions for each button to execute JSX functions function runA() { var csA = new CSInterface(); csA.evalScript('runA()'); }; function runB(){ var csB = new CSInterface(); csB.evalScript('runB()'); }

As of Creative Cloud Desktop App Version 5.3.5.518, plugin and extension installation is not supported for users of ARM processors, (with the exception of the Adobe XD Plugin Manager). We regret this inconvenience and expect a fix in the next version of the Creative Cloud Desktop App due at the end of February 2021. Unfortunately, at the time of this writing, alternate installation methods like ExManCmd and third party tools like Anastasiy's Extension Manager cannot install plugins on ARM devices. It is not possible to roll back the Creative Cloud Desktop App. We will update you as soon as a workaround is available.   For more information on ARM support for CEP and UXP based plugins, please see this article on the Adobe Tech Blog.

Hello Community and Adobe With the new changes regarding private key storage requirements for code signing certificates https://knowledge.digicert.com/general-information/new-private-key-storage-requirement-for-standard-code-signing-certificates-november-2022 , we are no longer provided the private key only the .crt certificates.It means that we are no longer able to recieve .pfx/.p12 certificates which are required by ZXPSignCMD to code sign plugins for Adobe products. What are we supposed to do to handle this from now on?
