text layer conversion for renderfarm

[omaa]

hello,
is there a chance to convert text layers to form layers via script? i am working on a mac and our renderfarm is pc-based, so rendering text layers on the farm is likely to vary from my computer. im most cases converting the layers to form layers works fine, but if you have a complex project with a lot of text layers, conversion can be real pain and a script which does exactly that job would be very nice. but after a lot of searching i found no way to address that function via script. please tell me i am wrong and it is possible.

with regards,
oliver from germany

What's a form layer? If you mean converting text layers to shape layers, you should be able to do it like this once you select the layer:

app.executeCommand(app.findMenuCommandId("Create Shapes from Text"));
