Added a JXS startup script that installs a menu item.
When clicking the menu item, it runs a IDJS script.
The menu items appears under the "Fitting" submenu of the context menu.
Only when the clicked frame belongs to an ID article, the menu item is shown.

3. Copy the [ArticleShapeExtractor](<../ArticleShapeExtractor>) folder to the `Scripts/Scripts Panel` folder.
4. Move the [ArticleShapeExtractor/startup scripts/ArticleShapeExtractorStartup.jsx](<startup scripts/ArticleShapeExtractorStartup.jsx>) file to the `Scripts/startup scripts` folder under the InDesign application folder. If the file already exists in the target folder, then overwrite it.
5. Restart InDesign to auto install a menu item. To verify:
1. Open a layout and locate a placed article.
