Welcome to the documentation for Creative Developer Tools (CRDT), a suite of tools designed to empower script developers and plug-in developers within the Adobe Creative Cloud ecosystem.
Developers need to register twice: once as a regular user, and a second time as a developer. After the regular user registration, please switch PluginInstaller to developer mode, and go to the Accounts window to register the second account. You can use the same email address as the regular user account.
VERY IMPORTANT: When registering as a developer, part of the registration process will be to introduce yourself to us. After you’ve handled the first registration email, please watch out for a second email from someone @rorohiko.com. Check your spam folder. You must reply to that email and introduce yourself. If you don’t reply the registration will not complete.
