I understand the OMV was part to the ExtendScript Toolkit that no longer works on 64bit Win 10.
I'm using VSCode with the ExtendScript plugin, but where would I find object reference? How do people code witout if if they don't know the API??
Many thanks.
Are you sure that the ESTK is not running on Windows 10?
Don't think so. On my Windows machine there is no issue to run:
ExtendScript Toolkit CC and Debugger (32 bit) 4.0.0.1
ExtendScript Toolkit CS6 and Debugger (32 bit) 3.8.0.12
Windows 10 Pro
Version 2004
If you are interested in DOM documentation done by Gregor Fellenz, see:

And yes, this is no substitution for the OMV.
Especially if scriptable 3rd-party plug-ins are

Hello!
Maybe you know, why there is no QR code in the DOM? And is it possible to edit generated QR codes with script?

Hi Rotkeps,
your question should be done in a separate thread.
To answer your question in short:
The DOM provides methods for creating QRCodes, literally on nearly every page item :
https://www.indesignjs.de/extendscriptAPI/indesign-latest/#PageItem.html
createEmailQRCode()
createHyperlinkQRCode()
createPlainTextQRCode()
createTextMsgQRCode()
So, how about reading out an added QRCode?
Well, the harsh truth is: You cannot do that from DOM directly.
A workaround:
Export the QRCode object, which is an EPS, to IDMS and exploit the information you find there.
