Convert text layer outline

• The stroke disappears when I convert text to outline

  I have a type used to describe another type layer. The bottom layer has a run of 8 - pt. But the police cause 'o' to have a point wandering in the upper part. But, when I convert the text to outlines, the race goes and I find myself with the guy who is not sufficiently wide or high.

  (The scaling for the height and width does not have the same effect we're looking for. Unfortunately I'm working on the files of my predecessor, so I have to give the impression that this was the case).

  Any help would be appreciated. I work in ID CS3 and don't really want to create in another program and then import it.

  Thank you.

  Remove the line before converting text outlines. Then add the race after that you described.

• Convert text to outlines if it's in a group? [JS] [CS6]

  First of all I must say this: I know the controversy 'convert to outline text' and 'correctly describing the text. " But in this case, it must be done the wrong way and reasons have never heard of, but I can't waste time to explain. Please just understand that we are unable of alternatives to the text of the Independent exhibitor. We have the text in the document itself.

  In any case, so I have this old javascript I found here on the forums and slightly modified so it converted the text on each page.

  It was working fine when I used it in conjunction with a script that disassociated completely everything that (as you know you cannot convert the text to outlines unless it disassociated)... that is until I realized that some documents I was working with had the effects of group and they would be lost after dissociation. Unfortunately there is no easy way to preserve the effects of group without script.

  However, I couldn't find a script which separated only my text or even this only separated groups without applied effects. There was this thread beginning: help to decouple script which had a user trying to create one to ignore groups with effects, but seems not have never been completed.

  So, here is what I hope to do: below is the script I used him convert all text in text converted to outlines (and also delete the original text block).

  We could it change it returns all objects in text, not just dissociated from those? I wish I could do it myself, but I don't know how to do some very light modding scripts. I appreciate a lot of help.

  myPage = app.activeDocument;

  for (j = myPage.textFrames.length - 1; j > = 0; j-) {}

  try {}

  myPage.textFrames [j] .createOutlines ();

  myPage.textFrames [j] .remove ();

  } catch (e) {}

  }

  EDIT: I found something here that may be of some use:app.activeDocument.allPageItems;

  Top of page answer says that "' allPageItems is almost guaranteed to return all the elements of the page, all kinds and persuasion, inside groups or other frameworks or whatnot. '"

  I thought I knew exactly what to do, which is to add the "." AllPageItems 'after app.activeDocument.

  However, when I run the script, I get a javascript error, saying "undefined is not an object" on line 2.

  My ideas run there.

  Hello

  You need seems to be this:

  var a = app.activeDocument.allPageItems,
      t;
  
  while( t=a.pop() )
      {
      if( !(t instanceof TextFrame) ) continue;
      try{ t.createOutlines(true) } catch(_){}
      }

• How to convert a layer back to the text "T? He is currently uneditable (how did that happen?).

  How to convert a layer back to the text "T? He is currently uneditable and I want to change the font (also, how what happened?).

  According to your layers panel. The top layer is a text layer years the second layer is a raster layer. A raster layer once the case has been closed, cannot be cancelled. It will have to be re-created. If for some reason, you left the file open, then it is perhaps possible to cancel it, because it would show in the history stack. But by default that stack is set to 20 States, to more than 20 he would push the battery.

  I think that you have to bite the bullet and redo this layer.

• How can I convert a text layer with fake fat in a form?

  Using hiking CS5 Extended and Windows 7 Home Premium. I try to convert a text layer to a shape, and I tells me it can not, because I have a fake "BOLD" style. Well, I don't put it in bold. I tried with Tahoma and Ariel. I tried no, sharp, crisp, strong and sweet. I checked the other posts here on false type probs, but no help.

  Hello, I have corrected the title.

  The option "BOLD" false figure at the bottom of the character Panel.

  The text tool is active, double-click the thumbnail of the text layer, and then press CTRL + T, it will pop up in the character, the fake "BOLD" Panel is the first button in the row of icons at the bottom of the Panel.

  You can also go to the window > character to open it or click the button on the options bar.

• Text layer and image in text

  Dear community of PS elements!

  I have a burning question:

  How to create an image to appear in the text?

  Finally, I would like the poster to be in a color filled with just the image that appears in the text.

  I've already found a few useful tutorials like this one: http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/pselements/ss/imageintext_3.htm
  But the problem seems to be that program in my case does NOT create a text layer when I start working with text, as you can see in this picture (there is text but no LAYER?)

  I'm really a beginner - so sorry if this is something ridiculously obvious, but after a few hours of Googling for answers I really hope to find them here

  Thank you!

  Text layer and image in text

  You use the tool hides text, not the ordinary text tool. The type mask does not text; He makes a selection in the form of text. Try to create your text with the regular type tool (tool in the box change options tools), then reduce the opacity if you want solid text. If you mean you want to outline the text, then the beginning where you are now (with the selection in the form of text) and go in Edition > stroke (outline) selection and see if it's what you want.

• How to generate the barcode (barcode 3sur9 or one of its variations) in a single text layer?

  Is there a way to get the name of the fonts used in a computer (C:\windows\fonts), which can be used online from Javascript? I have the barcode fonts, but I don't know his name for Javascript to recognize.

  See the line on the myTextRef.font below:

  create a variable to the active document

  var docRef = activeDocument;

  Create a layer of text on the front

  var myLayerRef = docRef.artLayers.add ();

  myLayerRef.kind = LayerKind.TEXT;

  myLayerRef.name = "Filename";

  It is a layer of real text describing it as a text element

  var myTextRef = myLayerRef.textItem;

  Size of the font set to Points

  myTextRef.size = 24;

  A text or numbers to convert a code bar?

  myTextRef.font = "Arial";

  Text color to RGB values

  newColor var = new SolidColor();

  newColor.rgb.red = 255;

  newColor.rgb.green = 255;

  newColor.rgb.blue = 0;

  myTextRef.color = newColor;

  Adjust the position of the text - percentages of left first, then the top.

  myTextRef.position = new Array (50, 50);

  myTextRef.justification = Justification.CENTER

  So "BOLD" fonts

  myTextRef.style = "BOLD";

  Set the blending Mode of the text layer. The name must be in UPPERCASE - IE NORMAL change to the DIFFERENCE.

  myLayerRef.blendMode = BlendMode.NORMAL;

  Select opacity in percent

  myLayerRef.opacity = 100;

  The use of javascript, app.fonts you will get an array of objects textFont. There will be an object textFont for each font that Photoshop can use. Each object has several properties. To use with a text layer, as the postScriptName property.

  var fontList = [];

  var font = app.fonts;

  for (var i = 0; i)< fonts.length;="" i++)="">

  fontList.push (fonts, [i], .postScriptName);

  }

• Text to outlines - but does not smooth when recording in jpg or png format

  Hello

  Just started with Illustrator and while it is easy to change the text to text outline (making vector), when it comes to the economy as long as .jpg or .png, I find that there looks like pixels. Can someone tell me why it is not stay as a vector? Please see the attached picture.

  When you perform the same action for jpg or png with a graphic, everything is perfectly smooth, so why this does not work the same?

  Can anyone help please?

  I checked with a lot of videos and help files, but cannot find an answer.

  Thank you very much

  Confused user...

  I've used other programs that convert text to vectors...

  A small correction of terminology:

  A "vector" is a direction. Don't refer to a path like "vector" or on a plurality of paths in the form of "vectors". Paths (more precisely, cubic Bezier curves) are what you are drawing with Illustrator.

  Type > order vectorize not "convert to vectors." The glyphs in fonts on your system already include traced. That is why they can be set on any size and not become jagged with zoom. But they reside at the level of the system and are "called" by the programs in which you use them. Type > order vectorize retrieves just the traces which are already included in the police and converts them (if any, as with quadratic Bezier curves in TrueType) to native Illustrator of traces of Bézier used cubic. Subsequently, they no longer alive text called for a font file. they are just normal paths in the Illustrator file.

  So, the goal to convert text into paths (as some programs call it) is not not to transform the glyphs for text in traces. they already are. The goal is actually "copy" the traces that are contained in the police and the plop on the page.

• Convert text box type line?

  Is there a way to "convert" a line of text, created by just clicking on the text tool and typing, in a block of text quickly? Copy and paste the text into a new, draw on the text box?

  and I want to import them into Photoshop so that each name is placed in a specific text layer. Is there a simple way to do it?

  Here's a quick script that can do. It assumes that there is a text file on your desktop named "name list.txt" it also assumes that the text using a return between names file, this can be changed to commas or anything else you want to use. You must also have an open file to make it work. It does not define the font or the font size, but you can put in the script or select all layers later and change it at once.

  #target photoshop
  var doc = activeDocument
  var textFile = new File(Folder.desktop+ '/name list.txt');
  var list = readText (textFile).split('\n');

• Convert fonts to outlines - when is absolutely necessary?

  Hello

  I have to convert the fonts to outlines when you export to PDF?

  How about before packing the completed task? (I could be wrong, but I think not, since the fonts are packed as well as all elements).

  Thank you!

  You should really never have to convert fonts to outlines when exporting to PDF format.

  Here is an ad I wrote there are nearly 10 years that is still true today:

  Describing fonts: is it necessary? -InDesignSecrets: InDesignSecrets

  Occasionally, a printer can insist on having fonts described, even if it is really not necessary. This is the best method in the rare cases where it is necessary:

• New font of default text layer

  Hello

  Whenever I create a new text layer using the code below - it always creates the text by using the font 'Myriad Pro' (as opposed to the police, I put more precisely).

  Is someone can you please tell me why this is happening?

  Thank you in advance.

  var docRef = activeDocument;
  var copyrightLayerRef = docRef.artLayers.add();
  copyrightLayerRef.kind = LayerKind.TEXT;
  copyrightLayerRef.textItem.font="Arial";
  copyrightLayerRef.textItem.contents = "©";
  

  It's because you need the postscript name of the police 'ArialMT '.

• I use an iMac with El Capitan and Photoshop CS6. I'm trying to add a shadow to a text on a picture. I followed the instructions to double the text layer but not dropshadow dialog box appears and I can't. Where would it be?

  Double click on the text on the right side of the display panel does not cause a dialog box open. I just need to know where the dialog box is so I can add the drop shadow

  Please make sure that you double-click on the text layer in the layer panel not the name of the layer. With the text, it can be difficult if the name is too long. You can also right-click on the text layer in the Panel and bring up the contextual menu and select 'blending Options '.
