I was hopping to maybe find something like "x position"... but yes this is what I ended up using (kerning) and it worked great! Thanks!

Unfortunately, this only shift the character up or down, not right or left

Hi everyone, I'm able to shift the position of a specific character vertically using "baseline shift", however, after looking at all character properties, it seems there is no way to shift a character in a string horizontally, isn't it? Edit: Seems like I found a way using the "kerning" or the "tracking" to adjust the position between 2 specific characters but I don't think its the best way to do it, there's should something like baseline shift for horizontal shifting.. Thanks!

Hello folks! I've been trying hard to find a way to apply different fonts in a same text layer but it was unsuccessful so far. It doesn't seem possible through AppleScript, I'm looking for a way to do it with JavaScript now.. Does anyone have any idea if this is possible? Thanks!

Hi folks! Is there a way to access the right to left paragraph direction setting from an English version of illustrator with AppleScript? I understood that we need to install an English (arabic) version of illustrator to have this setting, is this the only way? Having to switch between the two to work on Arabic or other languages is really bad.. 😕 Thanks!

I found a way to parse each character given a document: set legalCharacters to {"1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "0", "a", "b", "c", ... , "z"} tell application "Adobe Illustrator" activate tell document 1 try set text font of (every character of every story whose character is in legalCharacters) to text font "TextFontName"of application "Adobe Illustrator" end try end tell endtell

Nice, thanks for explaining, very cool. I didn't know about this, however, my use case is for Asian languages, not just Japanese.

Hi everyone, Quick question, do you think it would be possible with AppleScript to apply multiple font for the same text frame? For example, I have an illustrator document with everything in a Japanese font with Japanese characters, however some of the words are in English like proper nouns "Jack". I would like to change the font of Jack to something else than the Japanese font. (I.e. having my japanase characters in a Japanese font and my English word in another font in the same text frame) So I was thinking I could search through my document for characters from a to Z (as Japanese characters are different), and apply another font when it finds these characters. Would this be very difficult to do? Thanks!

Hi there, With AppleScript, I'm trying to set the Mojikumi parameter of all text in my document to "Gyomatsu" I saw that there is a Mojikumi property and I'm trying to use it but unsuccessfully so far: Mojikumi (text) : the Mojikumi name I have access to all text frames within my document but it's also fine if I apply a global parameter for all text within this document. Would anyone know how to apply the Mojikumi parameter "Gyomatsu" to all the text in my document? Thank you! -Alex

@robday Awesome! Thanks, it worked like a charm! Well, while I agree it would be better to do it directly from Adobe, its for our automation, dealing with thousands of barcodes, it is easier as we treat them post-processing. I can use it to create and convert everything automatically in a few seconds. SJRiegel​ Unfortunately, no, it's not a QR code but a Data Matrix barcode. @Willi I agree it would be better, I had tried but Objective-C formats don't have EPS or AI. I tried with PDF but it did not keep the transparency (it changed the transparent background to white). Hence, the only one that worked was TIFF.

Indeed, I will need to have a 100% black for some document. I managed to get that in Photoshop if I do a custom CMYK conversion using Maximum Black. Is there a way to do it using a profile maybe? As I told you I used "sips". Maybe I can export the custom profile created from Photoshop and use this one with sips?

The printer asked for CMYK so, that's why I was doing this.. I will ask him more information then. Thanks everyone!

I am not sure I follow what's the issue? I just needed a CMYK barcode with transparency in InDeisng and that's what I got? Or InDesign is doing something under the hood? It's for a printer so unless he tells me there's an issue? It's only black and white colors.

Hmmm interesting! It seems that I just found a way to do it programmatically! Instead of using ImageMagick to convert from RGB to CMYK. I used "sips" which is a built-in macOS tool, and with this, the graphic opens directly with transparency in InDesign! sips - scriptable image processing system. This tool is used to query or modify raster image files and ColorSync ICC profiles. Its functionality can also be used through the "Image Events" AppleScript suite. Try 'sips --help' or 'sips --helpProperties' for help using this tool

I do need a transparent background, I have barcodes that are black on transparent or white on transparent, taking the color of the background. EDIT: What do you mean by check the values in Photoshop?

It can be: TIFF, JPEG, PNG, GIF.. It's just that I'm trying to do everything in one go, the user input the barcode and it gives you a CMYK Data Matrix barcode. I have all this so far, just the transparency that is gone when importing to InDesign.

But InDesign does support CMYK with TIFF if you save it from Photoshop just not directly from the conversion done by ImageMagick it looks like? I can switch to another format if needed, I only need the CMYK ColorSpace for printing AND transparency. "as ImageMagick, or, as you are in control of the source software, have that output something more compatible so you don't need to convert anything later on." --> Does that mean there is an option I could use to have the transparency correctly in ID? Here is the command I use with ImageMagick: convert /path/to/RGB_GRAPHIC.tiff -profile /path/to/cmyk_profile.icc /path/to/CMYK_GRAPHIC.tiff

I'm creating Data Matrix barcodes. Do you think it would be possible to batch process the Photoshop file from my code written in Objective-C/Swift?

Yes, but ideally I would like to not have to open it in photoshop and save again.. as I have hundreds of graphics to process.. My question is more like why opening the original .tiff file in photoshop shows transparency while it does not in InDesign

My TIFF file is created from a library in Objective-C so there is not really a save transparency option, but when I preview the created barcode in Mac Preview or open it in Photoshop or Sketch, I can see the transparency. It just does not show up in InDesign when importing it.

Hi everyone, I created a barcode in RGB with a library in Objective-C. Then I convert it to CMYK colorspace using ImageMagick. The converted graphic shows transparency when putting it in Photoshop, but not in InDesign.. It has the alpha channel. If I open it in Photoshop, save it FROM photoshop to TIFF and import in InDesign, then the transparency appears.

Hi Jarda, Thank you so much for all your answers! I'm running into an issue when trying to use your script, I put the Humanizer.jsx into the Script list of Photoshop 2018 but I still get the issue "Line: 65 -> var descMod = Humanizer.objectToDescriptor(desc)[1]; " when trying to run the script * Set range and change text style What am I doing wrong? Also, before I continue any further, do you think it would be cumbersome to modify the script to parse all text layers and find numbers to change the font? Thanks!

I'm using the Scripting Bridge in Objective-C to do Photoshop automation. I'm trying to replace the font for all numerical characters in all text layers with a specific font. I'm able to replace the font for the whole layer but not for specific characters. Is this something doable? For example, if a text layer has: "The time is currently 10:52 AM". I would like to replace the font of 10:52 with a specific font. Thanks!

I don't why but I found out AppleScript detects non-breaking space as ASCII character 202 and not 255 as it should be? My next step is to try to apply the noBreak parameter to the word before and the word after the non breaking space!
