From ExtendScript to C++

Hello,

I have a couple of scripts written in ExtendScript that I use for myself and I would like to translate them into plugins.

I was wondering what should be the most convenient way to translate them into C++ language.

Should I use Extension Builder instead?

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Many thanks in advance,

Marco L.

Hi,

ExtensionBuilder will only be useful for building Flex (CS5-CC[1] ) or HTML5/js extensions (CC+). But it won't be a C++ editor letting you creating plugins.

I think you need VisualCode on Windows or XCode on Mac. Download InDesign SDK, there are a bunch of manuals that will guide you through the first steps. Once that said, I think creating plugins is not for the faints of heart

Good luck in your journey though.
