Improved Hello World Script

[andrewr39497147]

Hi I am new to Indesign and Indesign Scripting.

I have worked through this tutorial:

https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/indesign/sdk/cs6/scripting/InDesign_ScriptingTutori...

I have tried to run the improved verion of the script (javascript version) and I get this error....probably I have made a typo....but for the life of me I cannot find it....

This script seems to need an open InDesign document. Are you running it with document open?

Hi Andrew,

your script is not targeting InDesign. Currently it's running at ExtendScript Toolkit CC as target.

Connect your script in the ESTK with InDesign: Next to the green chain-link icon are all targets listed in a dropdown menu.

Start InDesign first then choose InDesign as target.
