Hi Scripter.

We have lot's of bullet list in my InDesign cs5.5 files. When we export PDF then show CID fonts in bullet. If we out line bullet in InDesign then solve this problem. Can anybody have script all bullet in indesign outline.

Thanks for advance.

Hi Snegig,

I am a learner, I have created this script. Might be useful. Try this below.

//create outline on character

var mydoc = app.activeDocument;

var mytfs=mydoc.stories.everyItem().words.everyItem().getElements( );

for (i=0;i<mytfs.length;i++){

    mytf=mytfs

    if (mytf.contents=="•"){

        mytf.createOutlines(true);

        }

    }

Snegig,

Try this, be sure this will create outline for all the bullets including the non-CID fonts. If you want to change a particular font, then we have to go in another way.

//create outline on characters

var mydoc = app.activeDocument;

var mytfs=mydoc.stories.everyItem().words;

for (i=0;i<mytfs.length;i++){

    mytf=mytfs

    if (mytf.contents=="•"){

        mytf.createOutlines(true);

    var tabletxts=mydoc.stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().cells.everyItem().getElements();

        for (k=0;k<tabletxts.length;k++){

            tabletxt=tabletxts

            if (tabletxt.contents=="•"){

                tabletxt.createOutlines(true);

                }

            }

        }

    }

Thanks
