Cannot open Adobe Indesign #4

Open papuruth opened 4 years ago

papuruth commented 4 years ago

Hi, I have a problem here I am unable to open Adobe Indesign it gives an error saying broadcast is not a function.

Also if I do like this code below the app is launched

      app: {
        name: AdobeAppName.Photoshop,
        path: 'C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Adobe InDesign 2020\\InDesign.exe',
        adobeScriptsPath: 'C:\\Users\\d-Evil\\scripts'
      },
      host: 'localhost',
      port: 5000
    });

but there is an error saying cannot open the file open_app.jsx, Adobe Indesign may not support the file-format. image

Hi I will check that.

rkamysz commented 4 years ago

You can check branch issues-2 and link it to your project. Ive added InDesign broadcast method so you can replace

app: {
       name: AdobeAppName.Photoshop, ---> AdobeAppName.InDesign
...

Im also getting this error on trial. I dont know is it because of the trial version. Do you know how to run any custom scripts with InDesign?

Thanks, I checked it. I did what you have done. I checked running the open_app.jsx from window cmd it doesn't pop any error. But in network panel the server listens on 5000. I guess it just false error.

Hi, I will check it again, just need time, Can't promise anything

rkamysz commented 4 years ago

Hi @papuruth ,Sorry I had no time and Im not sure if I can use InDesign now (trial). Which command did you use to run this open_app.jsx?

rkamysz commented 4 years ago

Hi @papuruth Ive added BridgeTalk but without adobe App so Im dont know if it works please check it on bridge-talk branch. Clone it then run tsc && npm pack then install it in your node app via npm i ...path_to/adobe-node-1.1.4.tgz

Please let me know if it works or help me with that due to my lack of time and Adobe licenses :D

Hi the Adobe Illustrator does not start

const app: AdobeApp = newAdobeApp({
    app: {
        name: AdobeAppName.Illustrator,
        path: '/Applications/Adobe Illustrator 2021/Adobe Illustrator.app',
        // path: '/Applications/Adobe Illustrator 2021/Adobe Illustrator.app',
        adobeScriptsPath: '/Applications/Adobe Illustrator 2021/Presets.localized/ko_KR/스크립트',
        // adobeScriptsPath: '/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CC 2019/Presets/Scripts'
    },
    host: 'localhost',
    port: 5000
});

I did change the access/permissions settings to the directory set in the adobeScriptsPath

Hi @shchoi82, It's been a while, I will have to look at the code but the problem is I don't have Adobe software (I have no plans to buy one). I think we would have to pair on that. Maybe try to add some logs, check if exec is executing etc
