Can jsxbin files be easily decompiled? Please recommend an effective method for encrypting jsxbin

Guide ,
Sep 11, 2025 Sep 11, 2025

Is there a simple and effective way to export JSXbin files and a better encryption method?
I've tried this, but it seems difficult to succeed.

The jshaman(https://www.jshaman.com/) encryption tool doesn't seem to work.
Thank you very much.

Great question — short answer: yes, partially, but not perfectly.

Thanks,

To (really) protect your code, use JsxBin Obfuscator for ExtendScript created by Marc Autret. Even Marc won't be able decompile it then!

It did work for me in June (InDesign 2025 on Mac).
But now it throws an error:

Hi Kasyan,

did the JSXBIN prolog contain that specific flag?

As far as I can see older jsxbin files from previous versions of the ESTK ( InDesign CS4 era ) contain the following prolog flag:

@JSXBIN@ES@@1.0.
