Well, if you do not do JS, then don't! You either do or don't. There is no cut and paste turn key solutions placed here. Besides,,. the scope of your work isn't even mentioned. What are you trying to do? You know, like take a graphic, and make it different size, or cut up or what?

Dear @ac3mark,
i will explain in more details what i want to be done here.
the code i posted is for MAC platform to run as script on Indesign, the code is working on the text frames in Indesign to expand it to fit the width and height of the text frame with content text.

I Need: to convert this code, to be run as Javascript code or Adobe script (Which the extension of it is .JSX) on windows Platform...

Could this be Done here or anyone helping me. or i should cut the road and stops here and search in somewhere else...!?

Once again, no cut and paste turn key solution. We are volunteers, who on our own FREE time, come to help those who are stuck. If you wish to "cut-and-paste" the solution, then yes, you may want to find another Organization that will build your solution for you (certainly not going to be free!). Good luck with that, and HAVE FUN!

to be honest, there is no javascript equivelant to a HOOK into another application, unless that application has AN API! Have you read the adobe documentation on the javascript API for INDESIGN YET?
I hope this helps!

Is that what you were looking for, as you still have never clearly defined the SCOPE of your project. I understand you wish to convert, but what is the FINAL product you wish to have produced! Something like: "I have a picture. I want to load it, and then shrink it by 50% on both axis."

You have never clearly defined what you wish the code to do! SO, I hope the coding above helps with the syntax and format of javascript. Then go here when you wish to really LEARN it: https://wwwimages2.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/indesign/sdk/cs6/scripting/InDesign_ScriptingGuide_JS.pdf

Have FUN!
