Product Description:

This tool works around the Mac OS X issues that occur when there are multiple versions of Adobe InDesign or Adobe InCopy installed onto a single computer.

In many cases, double-clicking an .indd file's icon will cause the wrong application to launch.

InDesignProxy fixes this by working as a 'stand-in' for InDesign and InCopy. You can drag/drop any .indd file onto InDesignProxy, and InDesignProxy will analyze the dropped document and then forward it to the appropriate version of InDesign or InCopy.

You can hold the Option (a.k.a. Alt) key while drag/dropping a document onto InDesignProxy. This will bring up a dialog for selecting an alternate version of InDesign or InCopy - e.g. if you drag/drop a CS2 version, this dialog would allow you to enforce it to be opened in CS3, even if you have CS2 installed.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

Mac OS X 10.5 PPC
Mac OS X 10.4 Intel
Mac OS X 10.4 PPC

Additional Requirements:

Two or more versions of Adobe InDesign or InCopy on same computer.

I wish I'd known there was such a thing sooner - Version: 1.0.3, 11/25/2008 04:21AM PST

Knowing about this very issue of having multiple versions of InDesign installed on a Mac -- and having every InDesign document (regardless of the version it was created in) open in the latest version, I only wish I'd known about this sooner. I've never liked have to 'upsave' documents to the latest version of an application, only to need it to be used in an earlier version somewhere down the track. Oh well.

.. rather than dragging your document onto this application, you could just drag it to the correct version of Indesign/Incopy.
