Hello Friends,

I want to make multiple compound shapes, selecting multiple text item. 

but result should be with indivisual shapes not in group, how any script or trick can make this possible?

Fillinger can use editable text objects. Why would you want to convert texts to compound shape? Also, why Pathfinder > Compound Shape and not just Type > Create Outlines?

Thank you @Monika Gause you notice this issue.

I am tring to make word cloud using Illustrator. I know there is some online tool to amek this but I don't want to depend on any online app thats why looking soltuion in Illustrator only. I can Resize, Scale, Rotate. color the words by using other script, but there is no script to place processed words into custom shape. While I browse on internet I found fillinger script is good to place indivisual shapes into targeted custom shape. that the reason I need to convert all point text into shapes using pathfinder menu > Make Compound Shape. but It work only 1 point text at a time, and I have many words to make Compound Shape. looking solution how to convert multiple point text into Compound shape so that using Fillinger script I can place them into custom shape.

My purpose to converting point text to Compound shape we can keep text editable

Thank you @Sergey Osokin now I observed that Fillinger can use editable text objects as well. my thought was to keep text editable after I compose them.
