Thanks for the comment, KO!

Hi J, my best guess is that the version of Extension Manager does not match the version of Illustrator that you’re using. Do you have multiple versions of CS applications installed?

Well, you’re not going to believe this, but since I was messing around with the settings on my PDF2ID, I figured I should re-run the file to give you a fresh one. Guess what- all the paragraphs came in in single text boxes! The sad part is I have NO idea what setting I changed in PDF2ID, but whatever it was, it fixed my issue. Whew. Thanks so much for your prompt response though… I’ll certainly let you know if I run into this issue again!

p.s. tried your Illustrator one and it works wonderfully- thank you!

Hi Amy,
I’d be happy to look at this issue. Can you post line number and source that are given when the error occurs?

Also, let me know which version of AI you’re using. If you can post a copy of the file that would be helpful, too.

Hi,

I’m very excited about this product, but I’m running into some issues. It’s working for some text boxes, but for most it gives me the following error:

JavaScrit Error!

Error Number: 30614
Error String: Invalid object for this request.

(then gives the file location, etc)

I’ve double checked that I am only selecting text boxes, and still no-go. Any suggestions?
If it makes any difference, I used PDF2ID to convert this from a PDF, and as you may or may not know, it converts the file into all separated text boxes. I’d love to get around this somehow!
Thanks!
