Hi,

I'm working on a plugin for InDesign CS6 and need to find out whether a particular document has alternate layout applied on it or not. Secondly I also want to get the notification whenever alternate layout is being created on a document.

Can anyone please help me out.

I'm not into the SDK, but according to the Javascript DOM, alternate layouts are part of Sections -- the section property 'alternateLayoutLength', for example, is "he number of pages in the alternate layout section".

Perhaps that gives you a clue of where to look?

Thanks Jongware...I could identify whether a particular document has alternate layout applied or not using section names.

Utils<ISectionUtils>()->GetSectionNames(document, sectionNames, kAlternateLayoutNames)

Second thing I need a notification whenever alternate layout is being created while using the plugin.

Can anyone give any ideas.
