Is there a plugin or something for gathering a Photoshop file's fonts?

Is there a plugin available for Photoshop which will export a Photoshop file and its associated fonts into a tidy folder, to then be sent off to a print shop or whatever? Or, alternately, is there a way to generate a list of fonts utilized in a Photoshop file?

Use the Creative Cloud Library.

Click on the fly out menu top right, and choose Create new library from document.

It will save all fonts used, as well as colour swatches, styles, smart objects etc.

It's one of my favourite features because you don't need to trawl through a bunch of client documents to remember what assets you used.  It's right there in a library.

@Trevor.Dennis @M_G6 how would this help? Seriously asking. If you are sending a native .psd file with live fonts - the printer would need access to Adobe Fonts or you would need to then share the library.

Still trying to understand in what scenario you would send a native PSD to a printer.

If it's using Adobe Fonts -then no there is not a way to package those up.

I'm sure @c.pfaffenbichler or someone may have a script for an output list.

However, I'm not sure why you would ever send a live, unflattened .psd file to a printer - that is bad practice.

Always send at least a flattened file if not a PDF format.
