No problem, I'm worried about developers getting blocked by this tool that isn't well-supported... the main workaround is, unfortunately, try to sign it on another OS, even a virtual machine.   Alternatively you could check out, say, this self-signing panel, but you might hit the same issue eventually: https://github.com/Inventsable/CEP-Self-Signing-Panel ...

In addition to the comments above, I'm on a developer experience team for Creative Cloud, and my team has been rolling out documentation for InDesign UXP APIs, which implement modern JavaScript. We're working on improving Google search SEO, too.   Here are two examples of language reference guides we've created: Example of UXP API reference: https://developer.adobe.com/indesign/uxp/reference/uxp-api/reference-js/Modules/fs/ My attempt to expose InDesign API "Object model" reference similar to the above referenced page: https://developer.adobe.com/indesign/dom/api/a/AlignOptions/   When you say this:   And before you refer me to the Adobe Developer's page where I can download the Scripting file for InDesign, please know that it doesn't contain a language reference. It is a bunch of help files for various tasks you might want to accomplish. That's fun and all, but literally the files are so unbelievably poorly presented that it locks up Chrome repeatedly. Even with 32Gb RAM, nothing else open, and running without extensions, it still locks up. There is something terribly wrong with the files provided.   Do you mean this HTML archive (below)? Just curious. I've never had it lock up my machine, and I have 16 GB of RAM.                   Agreed, it doesn't contain langauge reference.   ... View more

This task will be performed on a remote machine in the cloud, where i don't have Illustrator installed. Is it possible to do that? do you have some illustrator-as-service API or something like that which i can use?   I've heard that installing Illustrator on a server might violate the terms of service... but I think you can install it on a cloud machine.   There is no Illustrator-as-service API that I'm aware of, however, Photoshop has one: https://developer.adobe.com/photoshop/api/   InDesign also offers InDesign Server for similar tasks (a "headless" version of InDesign).   This is a request I've heard before for Illustrator. I can pass it on to an Illustrator Product Manager, who will likely ask you to "detail your use case" a bit more.   It's worth noting that the Illustrator team is busy bringing Illustrator to the web at the moment (browser-based Illustrator), which is still in early beta. ...

I realized re-reading this thread I missed an important clue:   ...when I try to install it through the AE scripts ZXP installer it fails to install.   To my knowledge, AEscripts hasn't updated their ZXP installer since ExManCmd was replaced by UPIA. I reached out to the developer and they said they didn't have plans to update it. This means that it won't keep working with later versions of Premiere Pro or After Effects (or anything else that supports ZXPs, I suppose). ... View more

This is a known issue; accessing any InDesign DOM commands is slower in UXP currently.   An upcoming release of InDesign will fix this (the version number is not final yet), I'm hoping that at that point UXP will run considerably faster than ExtendScript. ... View more

Hi there,   So, we only launched UXP scritping in InDesign last October (with UXP plugins coming this summer). It's possible that's not enough time for anyone to write a new book about it, especially since it's still under development.   That said, this author reached out to my team about their book on InDesign, which came out in November 2022:   In English: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-658-39375-5 or https://www.amazon.com/dp/3658393742   The German version is available here: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-658-37137-1 or https://www.amazon.de/dp/3658371366   Note that this is a paid resource. ...

Hi Peter,   I asked the InDesign team and they confirmed that the progress bar isn't available yet in InDesign UXP scripting:    progress bar would work by creating a  progress   element and attaching it to the dialog   // The code below can be added to the dialog sample which is shared // Assuming `div` as a div element in the dialog let progressBar = document.createElement("progress"); div.appendChild(progressBar); progressBar.value = 0.2;   It is currently available in Photoshop UXP... here's some documentation.   ...

And ExtendScript scripts are still considerably quicker than UXP scripts, though that too will change as UXP gets optimised.   Hi Peter! That sounds odd to me, I thought UXP was built for speed...

Hi there!   Sorry your message got bounced around so much. You're pointing out both a bug; UPIA no longer displayes the full version number as expected (formerly this tool was ExManCmd)   And you have a Creative Cloud desktop app feature request (I think). To clarify, are you saying you'd like to see the version number here:     At the very least, it'd be handy to see the plugin version number here similar to how you can see the desktop app version numbers, right? Like this:     Although that does raise the question, if you install something via UPIA, does it appear in the Creative Cloud desktop app? 🤔   Finally, and perhaps more confusingly, this is the best forum for UPIA/ExManCmd queries. The best forum for UXP feedback is here: https://forums.creativeclouddeveloper.com/ I think originally you posted this in the Creative Cloud desktop community, which isn't wrong, per se, but since it's about plugins this category is better. ...
