undefined is not an object error is coming in jsx file with In-design Extended script tool kit

[ashishk1698431]

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

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

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