Hello Community,
can someone please tell me, if there´s a Script to convert a Layer of Text to Outlines?
I need it for wrapping text around a diagram, made with FF Chartwell
For me, it´s also necessary to open release the compound paths and activate text-wrapping to automate it for several documents. So one script that would do the trick will be appreciated.
If someone can point me to the right direction, it would be great!
Greetings
Markus
Sorry guys,
i´m still lost. I´ve tried to apply an object style (with text wrapping attributes) now, but it gives me an error message, my object style "umfliessen" couldn´t be read. Maybe I have to refer it at a different position (not at line 22)?
tell application "Adobe InDesign CC 2015"
tell active document
tell layer "diagramm_balken_auto"
repeat with x from (count every text frame) to 1 by -1
tell text frame x
try
create outlines with delete original
end try
end tell
end repeat
end tell
tell layer "diagramm_balken_auto"
repeat with x from (count every polygon) to 1 by -1
tell polygon x
try
release compound path
end try
end tell
end repeat
end tell
tell layer "diagramm_balken_auto"
set objStyle to object style "umfliessen"
repeat with x from (count every item) to 1 by -1
tell item x
try
apply object style using objStyle
end try
end tell
end repeat
end tell
end tell
end tell
Also found the correct way of posting code. Sorry for the past entries!
I´m still hoping to get it done with some help of yours.
Thanks,
Markus
