How to tell what version and platform created an InDesign File

Is there any way to tell if the InDesign file is created/or last saved on a Mac or PC and what version it is?
We receive files from many customers and some InDesign files appear to be passed back and forth between PC and Mac. Some fonts used are definitely PC and some are definitely Mac.
But we are not finding anything to give us the above info.
Thank you,
Linda Nivin

hold down the Command (apple) key as you click on About InDesign (with an open file) and you should see something like:
Scroll down through the Document History: and you will see a series of entries, starting with the creation.

  • How to tell what version of Acrobat or Reader was last used to save a PDF

    How can I tell what version of Acrobat or Reader was last used to save a PDF file? My users are using fillable forms from grants.gov. We want them to use Adobe Reader 8.1.3 to fill these forms, but some accidentally use the Pro version of Acrobat. They need this to make PDFs from Word & other apps, but Pro will corrupt the fillable forms.
    When I open a saved form in Reader 8.1.3 and click File > Properties it says Acrobat 7.x even though I know it was saved with 8.1.3.
    Is there a way to know which version number and type (Reader or Pro) last saved a PDF?

    But it won't tell you what was used last. It just gives the original information.
    It also won't differentiate between Pro and Standard and of course won't mention Reader at all.

  • How to tell what version of a document the workflow ran against?

    I am using the OOB Approval workflow and in the workflow information I see a Document field, but that links latest version of the document. How can I tell what version of the document the workflow actually ran against?

    Hi,
    Set a variable in the workflow to be equal to the version of the document.
    Now you can use this variable to update a column in the document library with the version and date the workflow was ran. Next time the workflow runs, update this column with next run details.
    OR write this variable to workflow history. Hope it helps.

  • How to tell what version of Mac OSX?

    Hello;
    I am a person who  works for a university here in the US. Alot of the times, I have macs that dont boot, but I can see the data from the hard drive, via an external dock. Is there a way to tell what version of the OS is from a strictly file level? Without being booted into the OS?
    Thanks,
    Brian

    If the computer's booted into an OS which doesn't support that(not all Mac OS X versions do), open the file /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist in any text editor.

  • How to tell what template is applied to a Framemaker file?

    I'm new to Framemaker...so please excuse if this is a silly question.
    We are trying to figure out how to tell what template has been applied to a Framemaker file. We are using the structured view in Framemaker 7.2.
    Perhaps I am thinking too much like a Microsoft Word user -- in which case I can look at what template has been applied to a document.
    Does Framemaker work the same way -- or are templates associated with Framemaker files in some other way?
    Thank you --
    J-Ha

    J-Ha,
    FrameMaker works differently. Strictly speaking, there is no way to tell which template was used last. A FrameMaker template is just a FrameMaker document which you call "template". Using File > Import > Formats you can import all or selected formats from one document to another. The main benefit: Each document is completely self-contained and does not require any other document.
    Many solutions I know of include a user variable named something like "template-version" into their template document or put the version information on one of the reference pages. When importing user variables or reference pages, this can tell you version imported last.

  • How to tell what version of Flash a FLA is saved as?

    I can't find out what version of the Flash IDE my FLA file is compatible with. The only solution I have is to try opening it in earlier and earlier versions until it doesn't work. I've heard of a utility called "Flaver", which is used to detect the FLA version. Is there no way to do this otherwise?

    Hi,
    Set a variable in the workflow to be equal to the version of the document.
    Now you can use this variable to update a column in the document library with the version and date the workflow was ran. Next time the workflow runs, update this column with next run details.
    OR write this variable to workflow history. Hope it helps.

  • How to tell what version of htmldb is running?

    A while back I installed htmldb (now application express) on AIX 5.2.
    I think I used the Companion CD 10gR2 so thought that I had installed version 2 of htmldb. But when you log in it appears to show that version 1.6 is running.
    Is there a way I can tell for sure which version I have?

    David,
    The 10gR2 companion CD has 1.6 on it. 2.0 is a separate download.
    See: http://otn.oracle.com/apex
    The version number you see at the bottom right on the login screen is what you have installed.

  • How do I tell what version (update / release level) of version 6 has been applied to my system?

    Question
    How do I tell what version (update / release level) of version 6 has been applied to my system? I have applied several different release levels to version 6 of FF but all the about feature tells me is Version 6.0. no version! This seems to be a change in the way updates are handled. Is that a bending because of the speed of which you're pushing out updates and new releases?

    Nope, I never used Chrome, but I did try Chromium on my Windows desktop PC for a few months last year. I got tired of the Google updater. exe running all the time and Google's method of doing updates, so it's gone. I do have Chromium on my Linux EeePC since last summer, but Ubuntu handles all updates and gives the user the capability to accept or deny, any or all updates - much more to my liking, similar to the way Mozilla does it. I don't like software developers forcing to update until I am ready to proceed.
    There's a lot more about this new Fast Release system, than just the lack of visible version numbers, that I don't like. The Nightly, Aurora, Beta, & Release sequence is dumb with the way it changes the version numbers. I prefer installing (for instance) what will become version 7 and have that installation progress thru the 4 stages, instead. Now it's like Nightly going from 7 to 8, Aurora going from 6 to 7, and Beta doing - hell, I won't know if it becomes a Release or if it just dies and I will have to install the Release version myself. ''Quite honestly I don't care, because I don't think this new "system" is going to last too long without major modifications. Too damn many users are so pissed off, that when Firefox starts losing large numbers of users, Chrome keeps growing and eventually passes Firefox in number of users and market share of usage - Mozilla will wake up and see the "light" and change back to the way things used to be done, to a certain extent.''
    I also dislike the UI changes in 4/5/6/7 enough that I am still using Firefox 3.6 for almost everything and Firefox 2.0.0.20 for the rest. I have been setting my toolbars up almost like Mozilla did for Firefox 4, since Firefox '''0.7''' in 2003 and I haven't come up with a workable combination of mods and extensions to configure Firefox to look and work the way I have been doing for almost 8 years now.
