running any Java Script to add a row to a table created in InDesign.

[Neda G]

Hi,

I converted all the forms from Word to PDF and customized them based on the requirement to have a digital signature (Using Acrobat Pro DC).

Some of these tables need to add/delete rows button. The IT department suggested the Indesign and provided me with the subscription. 

Unfortunately, I can not find a solution for running any Java Script to add a row to a table created in InDesign. (No name for the table that I can consider as an object).

please help me with the JS code, how can I run it in Indesign without knowing the table name?

Where I can run JS in Adobe Indesin tool?

Thanks in advance,

The following line of code would add a row to every table in the currently active document

app.documents[0].stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().rows.add()
