The Adobe Common Extensibility Platform (CEP) gives you the power to enhance and extend Adobe CC apps with the standard web stack: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Now, there’s no need to learn C++ or platform-specific scripting tools to access the APIs.
You can also sell and distribute your extensions to the entire Creative Cloud install base using Adobe Exchange, which is integrated with CEP.
With a built-in Chromium browser engine and Node.js, CEP lets you leverage the full web platform to build extensions that access each app’s full scripting capability and even extend across CC apps. CEP comes with guides, documentation, and samples that show you how. Build your first CEP extension today.
Build CEP extensions and panels with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, as you would any web app. Use your favorite web development tools, including cross-platform tools such as Brackets.
CEP includes Chromium, Google’s embedded Chrome browser engine, to give you the full power of a browser behind your panels.
Node.js is included in CEP, which gives you all of its platform-accessing capabilities. Load your favorite npm packages and include them in your extension.
The HTML DOM that your extension runs on communicates with the ExtendScript DOM in your chosen CC application, giving you access to the application’s full API. Your CEP extensions can automate any function or feature in the app.
Your CEP extensions can connect to application plug-ins written in C++ using the app’s SDK. Build on existing plug-ins or build your own hybrid extensions by combining plug-ins and panels that share data and functionality. Scripting features added through plug-ins are also available to your CEP extensions.
The Vulcan libraries included in the Adobe IPC Toolkit send and receive control messages across Adobe CC apps, enabling you to build extensions that automate one app from another and build multi-app features and workflows.
