Line: 6

Source: for (var i=0; i<found.length(); i++)


ok..

sorry, my computer was bussy processing something else, dind't have the chance to test/debug until now:

function main(){
app.findTextPreferences = app.changeTextPreferences = null;
app.findTextPreferences.appliedFont = "Zapf Dingbats";
app.findTextPreferences.fontStyle = "Regular";
app.findTextPreferences.pointSize = 9;
var found=app.activeDocument.findText(true);
for (var i=0; i<found.length; i++){
     try {
          found.createOutlines();
          } catch(e){};}
alert("All done!\nYou can go outside and play now!");
}app.doScript('main()',undefined,undefined,UndoModes.entireScript,'Outline all bullets');

Hi,

your code will try to create Outline from app.selection[0], which is not an effect of findText()

try this:

app.findTextPreferences = app.changeTextPreferences = null;

app.findTextPreferences.appliedFont = "Zapf Dingbats"

app.findTextPreferences.fontStyle = "Regular"

app.findTextPreferences.pointSize = 9;

myFound = app.findText();

step = myFound.length;

while step--

     myFound[step].createOutlines(true);
