Hello,

When I installed the new InDesign 2020 version 15.1.1.103, the plugins of sdk version 15.0.0.155 are not running with it. Is there a new sdk version? I can't seem to find it.

Thanks

While the immediate problem of the OP is apparently solved, the actual question from the subject/title is not answered: where is the updated SDK? I just had a look at the default place https://console.adobe.io/downloads/id and the Plugin SDK over there is still from 2019, same for ITK Symbols.

Even worse, there have been several other original Adobe messages cross-posted to the "SDK" section that mention new features "Share the document for review", but neither of them touches developer documentation, new SDK headers and similar resources.

So this question is definitely still waiting for some qualified input that only Adobe can provide.

Yes you are right, the sdk at https://console.adobe.io/downloads/id is still from Nov 2019. If i look at the prerelease site i can locate a sdk version dated 20 days ago for 15.1, i think if indeed a compilation with new sdk is needed this will be release publically soon. However i am surprised that a minor vrsion update does need compilation with a new sdk version else the plugin's won't load. Hope someone from the Adobe dev team would be able to share some information on this

Manan, you are right. The problem does seem from my plugin. When I tested a previous version of my plugin, it worked with the new InDesign.

The strange thing is that, I removed the ".fr" from my project and added it again, because I was having a compilation problem. The compilation problem was solved, but the PlugIn is not running with InDesign and it is giving me the message that the PlugIn is not recognized by this version of InDesign. This is happening on new and old version of InDesign.

Appreciate if you have any ideas to solve that problem. The ".fr" problem does seem to occur everytime I move my project from one machine into another.

Thank you for the info Dirk. I think you might be right, there seems to be an issue with the ODFRC compiler. The "objRx64" seems to have idrc_ folders that are empty.

As a temporary workaround I copied those resources from an old PlugIn that was working into the "objRx64" folder and compiled. It worked fine.

I still have to find the main issue that is causing the _idrc folders to be empty. This is causing me problems everytime I move my project.

Appreciate the suggestions,

Joe

If its a windows project, open the project file in a test editor as Dirk mentioned and locate the fr file listing in the file. It should have the command odfrc with other options set. For reference and exact command line to use you can check the sdk sample project files. You can also see documentation on how to set custom build step in VS so that you can do all this using the IDE. For MAC also its pretty much the same but i don't edit the project file directly in it but use the IDE
