Exporting just text from multiple text boxes in childrenʻs book

[Catsongs]

Aloha all,

I am wanting to export just the text from a 32-page children's book so the text can be translated.

On every page, the (short) text is in a text box.

Thus, there are 32+ isolated text boxes in the book.

Is there any way to select all the text (existing in a text layer) and export it as a text file (.txt, PDF, Word)?

Google bots tell me I can (on my Mac) select all with Command-A, but this only selects the text on one page, not the other 31 pages.

Any help would be appreciated!

Mahalo,

Cat
