Extensions; CEP (Common Extensibility Platform); who has tried; who has published

Hi all

I have played with the new CEP way of writing extensions for a few weeks. (Common Extensibility Platform).

I now have a working extension.

Currently I am trying to get my first Extension published with Adobe.

Adobe has what is called the Adobe Exchange Vetting team.

Her is how I understand the process:

Write your code, test debug etc.

Upload to the Adobe Platform. (A extension ((or other stuff)) can be shared for free or sold)

Code needs to have a signature. Sounds easy enough... I don't think so. That's where I like to hear your story: Anybody published successfully? How did you go? What process did you use? (There is 4 that I know of)

BTW: I am interested in small time developers like myself. I can not buy a pro Signature. Costs north of $1000.00.

There is a process called self signed. That is for free.


Please share your story, as I would like to see my code up there soon.


Regards

Romano

Use the self sign option. I haven't had any problem having products

accepted on the Exchange with a self-signed job.

Hi Ariel

I would be very interested in how you create your file for uploading. Online? Adobe Exchange Packager? My files work on my machine every time. But when I upload The Vetting Team fails them EVERY time. I have been trying for weeks...

I haven't done this for a while (around a year), but when I did, I used

the free Exchange Packager and it passed the vetting.

It's not impossible that they've tightened things up and now actually

insist on a proper digital signature. But in any case, did they not tell

you why they failed it? I recall that they do give a reason.

Also, I think a digital signature is more like $100 a year -- not as

much as $1000. (Still a waste of money though!)
