From path to text?

[lauisfine]

Hi everyone!

I'm working with Indesign and I should convert a path into a normal text.

I know that the opposite is obviously possible, but is there a way to convert a path into a text?

Thank you very much in advance!

No

The best you could hope for is that if you have Acrobat Pro, you could save a PDF of your file and use Acrobat to read and extract the text.

This could save you some typing time if you are dealing with a lot of text, but it would still need to be carefully proofed, and then copied back into InDesign for re-formatting.

Thank you very much! I'll try with Adobe Acrobat and in the meanwhile I'll cross my fingers!
