Despite the advent of the UXP era, our ExtendScript framework ‘IdExtenso’ still has diehard fans — starting with myself. Its main advantage is its backward compatibility with previous versions of InDesign, as well as its proven stability for long-term projects.

→ For example, note that IndexMatic³ is built from A to Z in IdExtenso.

IdExtenso version 2.31008 (Oct. 8, 2023) has just been released on GitHub. It contains some essential additions and fixes in the core branch, but above all an impressive number of new etc modules that I could not summarize here.

The best is therefore to go to the CHANGELOG page which gives you a complete inventory of all the progress made in recent months.
