InDesign CS5 and Creative Suite SDK Development

Label plugin is created using Adobe Creative Suite SDK. CS SDK allows developers to use applications developed using Flex framework as CS5 plugins. The SDK also provides ActionScript libraries that can be used to easily integrate the extension with the host application by providing a mechanism to access the scripting Document Object Model (DOM) of the host CS5 application.

The purpose of the plugin is to set labels and related properties on various page-items in InDesign to categorize the items. For this the plugin has a Flash panel with the required fields. The plugin also lists the categorized items and allows you to change the label/properties. Furthermore, the panel responds to selection change on the document.
