I am very new to making plugin scriptable, to start with I tried building pluign give in sample code of SDK folder, I built plugin BasicME and tried to execute it using scripts given in sample sources.

 

but I am getting following error: (attached image)

Error Number : 44

Error String: Object does not support the property or method 'basicme'

 

I built this plugin from samples give in CC 2022 SDK folder and trying to run it in InDesign CC 2022. am I missing something? 

 

Any help is higly appreciated, Thanks in advance!!

Another change that you would have to make to load this on desktop version of InDesign is

Change

 

kCS5ScriptVersion, kCoreScriptManagerBoss, kInDesignServerProductFS, k_Wild,

 

To

 

kCS5ScriptVersion, kCoreScriptManagerBoss, kWildFS, k_Wild,

 

This needs to be done inside the fr file within the VersionedScriptElementInfo resource definition.

One thing that I noticied is that this plugin is InDesign server only. Check the PluginVersion defintion in the fr file. It has the following

{ kInDesignServerProduct}

However, it should be

{ kInDesignProduct, kInDesignServerProduct}

for it to load on both the desktop version as well as the Server version of InDesign

      Thanks Manan,

       

      This worked perfectly for InDesign Desktop but now I am trying same with InDesign Server and its giving me following error

      I am running server using following command:

      C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign Server 2022>indesignserver -port 12345

       

      Trying to execute script like :

      Adobe InDesign Server 2022>sampleclient -host localhost:12345  C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\invertdoc.jsx

       

      ERROR:

      Error number: 55

      Object does not support the property or method 'basicme'

       

      Why its giving this error when its working perfectly in InDesign Desktop

       

      Thanks!!
