What is a CCBJS file?
A CCBJS file is a Javascript file created by the 3D app, game, and website editor, CopperCube. It contains the JavaScript code that is generated as part of the .html file created from the .ccb file. CopperCube provides a user-friendly scripting interface to develop gameplay logic and interactions without writing any code. Other file formats supported by CopperCube include .ccscene, .ccmodel, .ccmaterial, .cctex, .ccjs, .ccp, and .ccpak.
CCBJS File Format
The internal file format details of CCBJS file format are not known as such. Javascript files, however, are saved as plain text files to disc and can be opened with any text editor such as Microsoft Notepad, Notepad++, and Apple TextEdit.
Key Characteristics of the CCBJS File Format
| Characteristic | Description |
|---|---|
| File Extension | .ccbjs |
| Instructional, Not Content-Based | It contains commands (the “how”) rather than the primary document content (the “what”). |
| Proprietary & Application-Specific | It is a proprietary format created by Corel for use within its ecosystem of business applications and compatible printers. |
| Temporary by Nature | These files are usually created temporarily during the print spooling process and are automatically deleted once the print job is successfully transmitted to the printer. Persistent files might indicate a spooling error. |
| Crucial for Workflow Automation | It enables automated, repeatable print workflows by scripting every detail of a print job, which is vital in legal, government, and corporate environments where document formatting standards are strict. |
| Dependent on Software/Driver Pairing | Its generation and successful use are contingent on using a Corel application with a print driver designed to support this technology. |
FAQ
Q1: Can I open and edit a CCBJS file manually to change print settings?
A: While you can view its XML content in a text editor, manually editing it is not recommended as it can corrupt the job; settings should be changed in the original Corel application’s print dialog.
Q2: I found a .ccbjs file on my disk; is it safe to delete?
A: If it is in a temporary spool folder (like C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS) and no print job is active, it is likely a stalled spool file and can be deleted. Do not delete files actively being used by the print queue.
Q3: Do I need a special program to use CCBJS files?
A: No, end-users do not open these files directly. They are automatically generated and processed by Corel software and the associated printer driver during the print command.
Q4: Why is my print job creating a CCBJS file instead of printing immediately?
A: This is normal operation for this workflow. The file is the instruction set being sent to the printer. If the job is stuck, the issue may be with the printer connection, driver, or spooler service.
Q5: Is the CCBJS format related to PDF or PostScript?
A: It is complementary. A print job might involve the document content in another format (like PostScript) and the CCBJS file as the separate, detailed instruction set for handling that content.
