comet 4.3: Adobe InDesign® Server 2022 - 2024. Server 2022 sub-version 17.2 is needed at least! Generally there will be support for the last three versions of Adobe InDesign®. Usually shortly after the general availability of a new version it will be supported. Java 17 must be installed for rendering worker service. Adobe InDesign® Server and rendering worker service can be installed as well on two different machines, for example rendering worker service with priint:publishing server or/and priint:bpm server on one machine, and Adobe InDesign® Server on another. ODBC and ODBC Connector(s): When using ODBC data sources through Adobe InDesign® Server, ODBC and appropriate ODBC connectors must be installed. Mac OS X 10.13 and Higher: If you want Adobe InDesign® Server to run Python scripts, you must have Python 3.8 installed at the default path /Library/Frameworks. Please note: The plug-ins can also be started without this Python installation. Python scripts are then terminated with an error. Mac OS 12 and Higher : If you are using the universal (Intel and Apple Silicon) plug-ins and want Adobe InDesign® Server to run Python scripts, you must have Python 3.10 installed at the default path /Library/Frameworks. Please note: Universal plug-ins are available only for InDesign® Server 2022/2023/2024. The plug-ins can also be started without this Python installation. Python scripts are then terminated with an error. | |
