Dear All,

Could any one please help for this.

If you're missing the JSInterface plugin, did you install the plugin using a package installer? If using ID 2020, use this link instead: https://coppieters.nz/?p=310

Kris provides instructions on the older blog post about installing the plugin.

Hi all,

I now have a much better solution, which is an ExtendScript enhancement. Very easy to use (simply #include a jsx file which automatically selects and loads a binary DLL or dylib).

It works with all applications that have ExtendScript (so it also works with Illustrator, InDesign Server, ESTK, Bridge...).

It's based on libcurl. More info here:

My previous 'GetURL' was using node.js/CEP which is not supported with InDesign Server. This new approach does not rely on CEP, so it works with InDesign Server.

Example:

#include "JSXGetURL/JSXGetURLLoader.jsx"

var getURL = JSXGetURL();

var s = getURL.get("https://www.rorohiko.com");

alert(s.substr(0,1000));
