Hi,

In the eps file, I have checked the Document info-->Objects menu in that spot color mentioned as "NONE"(refer img1.jpg). But in the same eps file Document info-->"Spot color Objects" menu its shows E(CMYK)(refer img2.jpg) that is spot color name. Could you please advise me why this difference occurs. Also I need to get this spot color object name via javascript, how to get this infomation?. I have attached the screen shot for your references.

Thanks for looking into this,

Maria prabudass

Hi.

Your Objects are gradient object. Its not a spot object. so you can get color name, get to gradientStops properties like below:

app.activeDocument.selection[0].fillColor.gradient.gradientStops[0].color.spot.name;

Hi.

TextFrame color informations included under textPath property.

app.activeDocument.selection[0].textPath.fillColor.gradient.gradientStops[0].color.spot.name

If your selection is textFrames, add "textPath" after "selection[0]".
