Hi all,

I am working in Adobe InDesign CS4. And I want to get which kerning (optical / matrix) applied on text by API's.

But I couldn't find it in Adobe Indesign SDK.

If anyone has any idea how to achieve it, then let me know.

Regards,

Jitendra Kumar Singh

Correct answer Bartek_Kropaczewski

GetKerningMethod() from ICompositionStyle. And think that second method is Metrics.

Regards and you are welcome

Thanks cropas

GetKerningMethod() function returns ClassID

ie ( for optical kerning we get ClassID "kKFPairKerningBoss" and for matrix we get "kDefaultPairKerningBoss")

Now it is working fine.

I'm revisiting an old topic here, as it's still relevant in CS5.

Is there any example code that illustrates this?  I'm starting with a kTextAttrPairKernMethodBoss, which has a GetClassData() method that's supposed to give this.  But I can't find any documentation for what the possible return types are, or how to get at them.

Thank you!
