Most of my PGS files are single layered containing a combination of vectors, text blocks and images. It would be nice to be able to separate them out in order to individually export them without having to click on every single object of a particular type. So my question is: Is there any way to do a "select all" for a specific type of object such as all individual text blocks at once in a PGS file without selecting other objects such as vectors and images? It would be really awesome to be able to globally "convert to path" all text blocks found in a document. I have a feeling that this feature isn't available, but I wanted to ask just in case.

No such built in feature. However, you could write a python script that
did just that.

Hah! I figured you might say that. I just started learning python and may just write that script one of these days. Thanks for the quick reply and thanks for Pagestream!
