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

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

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

How to partially encrypt a file

Community Expert

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.

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

Design smarter, faster, and bolder with InDesign scripting.
