Hi
make sure the layer in question is selected

Code: Select all

 aL = app.activeDocument.activeLayer;



 if(aL.kind == LayerKind.TEXT) {

aLname = aL.name;

aLbounds = aL.bounds;

aLWidth = aL.bounds[2]-aL.bounds[0];

aLHeight = aL.bounds[3]-aL.bounds[1];

aLpostScriptFontName = aL.textItem.font;

aLFontSize = aL.textItem.size;

aLtextContent = aL.textItem.contents;



alert('Layer name: '+aLname+'\n'+

'Layer Bounds: '+aLbounds+'\n'+

'Layer width: '+aLWidth+'\n'+

'Layer height: '+aLHeight+'\n'+

'Font`s Postscript name : '+aLpostScriptFontName+'\n'+

'Font size (in the actual used unit): '+aLFontSize+'\n'+

'Text content: '+aLtextContent);

};
