    What command are you looking for? Expand, Expand Appearance, Type > Create Outlines, Outline Stroke? There are app.executeMenuCommand('menuCommandString') commands that are not included in the ExtendScript documentation. See this table https://judicious-night-bca.notion.site/app-executeMenuCommand-43b5a4b7a99d4ba2befd1798ba357b1a

      Thanks, it works, is there any way to avoid from this dialog?

       

       


      Simulate Expand through effects, then apply Expand Appearance.

       

      app.executeMenuCommand('Live Outline Object');
app.executeMenuCommand('Live Outline Stroke');
app.executeMenuCommand('expandStyle'); // Expand Appearance
