In depth

A closer look at Adobe InDesign API Navigator

Adobe InDesign API Navigator is a software utility created to help developers with building plug-ins for Adobe InDesign. It functions as an add-in for Microsoft Visual Studio.With this add-in, developers should have an easier way of obtaining Boss definitions, aggregating Bosses for an interface, as well as ODFRC definitions in the IDE.To install the tool, you need to run one of the two batch files in the software’s directory, one for 32-bit and one for 64-bit Windows. Once the installation has been completed, just restart your IDE to begin using API Navigator.When you have opened an InDesign plug-in project, simply right-click on an identifier. If this is a valid Boss, IID, Interface or ODFRC type defined by the InDesign API, a new menu item will be added by API Navigator at the top of the shortcut menu. When you click the menu item, you will get the API definition. Additionally, you can get summary data in the Visual Studio watch window while debugging.To uninstall the add-in, you will need to run the uninstall.cmd batch file in the main directory. It is worth noting that, when running Visual studio for the first time after uninstalling, an alert will be displayed. Just click Yes to remove the command that cannot be loaded.
