Hi everyone,

I would like/need to start using UXP in Indesign and I’m looking for books, cources, manuals, … For many years I wrote Extendscripts and the Adobe Getting started PDF-files were very usefull. I need to be up and running fast and need to know how to get started…

- What to install?
- How to start a new script, panel, plugin, …?
- How to write, test, debug, deploy, sign, distribute a solution?
- How to create an input window, progress bar, … ?
- How to read/create/write files/folders?
- Where is a complete overview of the Indesign UXP DOM model?
- Are there example projects on github?

Thank you for sharing any info.

Tim

For the documentation start from here: [https://developer.adobe.com/indesign/uxp/](https://developer.adobe.com/indesign/uxp/)

You’ll need the app “UXP Developer Tools” that is available in the Creative Cloud All Apps.

Searching this forum is very useful when things don’t work as you expect – uxp can be a little quirky.
