The Merge Text and Convert To Text Area scripts are working great for me. Thanks very much for these! I should be punching my monitor and my own face much less frequently now when I have to import a pdf into Illustrator. Hi Justin.

The text that you have to double-click on may be in a group or a clipping mask. Try ungrouping or removing any clipping masks. Both options are available via right-click (ctl-click on Mac) on the text object (before you double-click on it). Hi JD,

Glad it’s working!

The script works great! I am running across some text which is editable by double-clicking with the Direct Selection tool but isn't recognized as text objects for the "merge" command. This was text generated by "placing" a pdf page into the AI document. I am not sure what is going on there. I am thinking that may not be the best way to import the text from those documents. The good news is that both scripts work very well on text that I have created and some of the imported text. Thanks Justin! The script works great!
