Select the strings that uses a specific font

[ky54448204]

I have not found a solution for aligning strings for specific font

I searched for information on Google. Some people said that I can use a script to solve it. I haven't used it yet. Any suggestions are welcome.

In my file, there are two font strings, I need to select them separately then align them.

E.g:

1. Select the strings that use the calibri font
2. Align bottoms
3. Move the strings right 3 pixels

4.Select the strings that use Arial fonts

5. Align bottoms
6. Move the strings down 3 pixels

you can using this script:

var doc=app.activeDocument;

var targetfont=doc.selection.characterAttributes.textFont.name;

var targetalign=doc.selection.characterAttributes.alignment;

for (var i=0;i<doc.textFrames.length;i++)

{

    for(var j=0;j<doc.textFrames.characters.length;j++)

    {

        if(doc.textFrames.characters.characterAttributes.textFont.name==targetfont)

            doc.textFrames.characters.alignment=targetalign;

        }

}

This script will set alignment of character you selected to characters have font name the same.

[ky54448204]

I tried it many times and still can't succeed.

[daitranthanhoa]

Please select character (Text), not select textframe.

[ky54448204]

There are no more error tips this time, but there is no alignment effect.

[daitranthanhoa]

This script only set to font you selected, if you want set other font, you must select next font and run script.

Ex: if data have 2 font: you must select 2 that fonts and run 2 times.

Hi, i think you must 2 scipt to up or down text.

1 .  move up 3px:

var doc=app.activeDocument;

var targetfont=doc.selection.characterAttributes.textFont.name;

for (var i=0;i<doc.textFrames.length;i++)

{

    for(var j=0;j<doc.textFrames.characters.length;j++)

    {

        if(doc.textFrames.characters.characterAttributes.textFont.name==targetfont)

          { 

              doc.textFrames.characters.alignment=StyleRunAlignmentType.bottom;

              doc.textFrames.characters.baselineShift=doc.textFrames.characters.baselineShift +3;

            }

        }

}

2. move down 3 px:

var doc=app.activeDocument;

var targetfont=doc.selection.characterAttributes.textFont.name;

for (var i=0;i<doc.textFrames.length;i++)

{

    for(var j=0;j<doc.textFrames.characters.length;j++)

    {

        if(doc.textFrames.characters.characterAttributes.textFont.name==targetfont)

          { 

              doc.textFrames.characters.alignment=StyleRunAlignmentType.bottom;

              doc.textFrames.characters.baselineShift=doc.textFrames.characters.baselineShift -3;

            }

        }

}

The problem of moving strings has been resolved

At present, only the problem of aligning strings is not solved. I hope someone can provide some solutions. Thank you very much.

The strings in each box are independent, please see the image below
