I am begineer in-design and trying to explore this tool for my project needs. I come to know that extended script tool is good to get started with in-design scripting but when I tried a simple jsx file for document creation I am getting following bug "undefined is not an object". If there is any references we need to give of any files/libraries to make it working.

Please help

You are targeting Extendscript Toolkit and not InDesign. The code would only work with InDesign, so it has to be running.

Hi ashishktrig,

check your screenshot in your inital post.

I can clearly see that you did not connect to any kind of InDesign in the moment you executed your script.

Yes, In screet shot it is like that but I tried In-design Server as well but not Indesign as its trial period has been expired so does will have to select Adobe In-design instead of Indesign-Server to make it work
