Photoshop, InDesign and other Adobe Creative Suite applications offer extension
support. Over the years there have been a few different JavaScript platforms:
Adobe Creative Suite[^1] applications, including the Photoshop graphics editor
and InDesign desktop publishing software, support JavaScript-based extensions.
- "ExtendScript": This uses an old JavaScript dialect but is supported in older
versions of Creative Suite and Creative Cloud.
[SheetJS](https://sheetjs.com) is a JavaScript library for reading and writing
data from spreadsheets.
- "Common Extensibility Platform" (CEP): This was introduced in Creative Suite.
App automation uses ExtendScript, but integration logic uses modern JS.
This demo uses SheetJS in Creative Suite extensions to import data from
spreadsheet files and export data to spreadsheets. We'll explore how to use
SheetJS scripts in extensions and programmatically interact with documents.
- "Unified Extensibility Platform" (UXP): This is the current recommendation for
new Adobe CC extensions in supported apps (Photoshop 2021+ and InDesign 2022+)
This demo explores three different JavaScript platforms supported in various
versions of Photoshop and InDesign:
This demo intends to cover parts relevant to SheetJS. General setup as well as
general Adobe considerations are not covered here. A basic familiarity with
extension development is assumed.
- ["ExtendScript"](#extendscript): The ExtendScript platform uses a nonstandard
JavaScript dialect. It is the only option in older versions of Creative Suite.
- ["Common Extensibility Platform" (CEP)](#cep): This was introduced in Creative
Suite. App automation uses ExtendScript, but integration logic uses modern JS.
- ["Unified Extensibility Platform" (UXP)](#uxp): This platform supports modern
JavaScript but has limited support (Photoshop 2021+ and InDesign 2022+)

can be revealed from the relevant applications. For InDesign:
1) Activate Scripts panel (Windows > Utilities > Scripts)
2) In the new panel window, select the User folder

### CEP Extensions
CEP extension scripts are typically stored in a system-wide folder:
| OS | Folder |
|:----------|:------------------------------------------------------------|
| Windows | `C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\CEP\extensions\` |
| Macintosh | `/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions` |
Administrator privileges are usually required for writing to the folder.
[^1]: Historically, Adobe applications were separate entities. Eventually they were bundled in a package called "Creative Suite". It was rebranded to "Creative Cloud" later. As ExtendScript was introduced during the Creative Suite era, this page will use the phrase "Creative Suite".
