1. text is to small
2. delete the CMYK values that it returns with just the PMS name only
Just a quick glance at the code, try the following:
1.) For the Size, after this line:
textRef = doc.textFrames.areaText(textRectRef);
Add the following line, change the numeric value to whatever size suits you:
textRef.textRange.characterAttributes.size = 20;
2.) Regarding removing the CMYK values for for PMS colors, change this line:
...textRef.contents = swatches
.name+ "\r" + getColorVal

Thanks to all who have contributed to this thread! I have found it very helpful! My issue is that I am also trying to prevent the [None] and [Registration] swatches from displaying when the swatch palette is generated using RenderSwatchLegend, but I can't figure out where exactly in the script to add the commands that itsBenMason suggested above. Can someone assist by explaining exactly where and what the commands are to eliminate the [None] and [Registration] swatches? Below is a screenshot of a section of the swatches menu and a section of the palette that is generated from the script. You can see the 2 swatches I need eliminated. Thanks for any assistance!
Thanks, charu16
That helped! Any idea why, after the color Redwood Red in the legend, a new row starts instead of continuing along? I have 13 columns defined in the script.
Here's what I have now:

Thank you very much!!
As I do to eliminate the 2 blank spaces where it should not appear (none and registration) example this is what appears.
And I want it to look more like this.
Can someone make this possible please?
Hi,
So you would like to have as per below screenshot?
If yes, then easy way is Open the document in RGB mode, the script will automatically display the RGB values.
Thanks
