Packaging and distributing Adobe CEP Extensions

Simple automated route

There is a more in depth explanation of the steps involved here. Otherwise if you just want to run the automated script continue on this page.

Build, package and sign the app

Addd a config file

Create a .env file in the root of the repository, here's an example

ZXPSignCmd_PATH="./ccextensionsmac/ZXPSignCmd"
COUNTRY_CODE=US
STATE_OR_PROVINCE="New York"
ORGANIZATION=""
COMMON_NAME=""
CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD=""
CERTIFICATE_OUTPUT_PATH="./ccextensionsmac/certificate.p12"
INPUT_DIRECTORY="./adobe-panel-build"
OUTPUT_ZXP="./dist/com.autoedit2.it.zxp"
TIMESTAMPS_URL="http://timestamp.digicert.com/"

Run script

The command below

npm run adobe-panel-package-sign-buil

It uses this script, sign-and-package-adobe-panel.js to

• package all files and folders needed for Adobe CEP panel inside ./adobe-panel-build folder (in .gitignore)

• creates a self signed, time stamped, certificate ./ccextensionsmac/certificate.p12 (in .gitignore)

• pack and sign the extension, can find it in ./dist/com.autoedit2.it.zxp (in .gitignore)

Distribution

See submit to adobe section for how to distribute that way.
