Hi. In the Photoshop SDK, is it possible to iterate through each character of a "text object" and query for it’s absolute position in the image file? Also, is it possible to extract the font information, ie. font name, point size, etc.

I’ve scanned through the documentation PDF, but I can’t see anything that would do this. The docs do seem a bit spagetti like though 🙁

I don’t think so. I did a quick search through the CS2 docs and found no reference to text layers. I’ll ask on the adobe forum and see if anything turns up.

Thanks anyway,
