[Javascript] How to get InDesign version number?

Hi Alexander,

all currently installed versions?

If you need the target strings for all installed InDesign versions you could do:

var allInDesignVersionsInstalled = [];

for( var n=0; n<apps.length; n++ )
{
	if( apps[n].match(/^indesign/) )
	{
		allInDesignVersionsInstalled[ allInDesignVersionsInstalled.length++ ] =
		apps[n] ;
	};
};

alert( allInDesignVersionsInstalled.join("\r") );

Below an example result from my Windows machine:

Your result could be different.

If you want to get the exact version strings you have to open all installed versions by using a target statement and read out app.version.

#target indesign-15.064
app.version // Result: 15.0.1.209

Hi,

If you are on a Windows computer, from the Help menu, or on  an AppleMac, on the top left, click on on Adobe InDesign.

From there look for the About Adobe InDesign.

Or, I misunderstood your question, and you want the number to appear dynamically in your document?
