Adobe Scripting Center

The Adobe Creative Suite provides a wide range of powerful tools for your programming and integration requirements. One of these tools are the Scripting languages available across the suite, which provide a low-cost method of creating integrations.

This scripting center provides access to the ExtendScript Toolkit, a complete Integrated Development Environment for programming ExtendScript. It also provides links to all of the scripting resources available across Adobe.com.

Adobe provides an excellent guide to getting started - the Adobe Introduction to Scripting. This document provides you with an overview of scripting solutions, and walks you through creating your first script.

Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit

ExtendScript Toolkit for Adobe CS4 Applications

The ExtendScript Toolkit (ESTK) 3.0 is a development and debugging tool for JavaScript scripts included with Adobe® CS4 Suites and applications such as Bridge, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and After Effects.  The ESTK has many features that make it easier to use than a text editor, including a built-in syntax checker that identifies where the problems are in your script and tries to explain how to fix them, and the ability to run your scripts right from the ESTK without saving the file.

The ESTK also includes a JavaScript debugger that allows you to:

  • Single-step through JavaScript scripts (JS or JSX files) inside an application.
  • Inspect all data for a running script.
  • Set and execute breakpoints.

ESTK 3.0 has an updated and improved user interface that offers enhanced options for configuration, including the capability to create workspaces with different window arrangements. The Object Model Viewer (OMV) has been upgraded and expanded, providing better documentation.
