How to Outline Fonts in Acrobat when Illustrator Replaces With Default Font

Ok well I thought I had Illustrator nailed. I was so confident of this I practically stopped learning it and concentrated on learning code and web design.

But today I learnt something new. I learnt this because I finally searched for an answer instead of saying we've always done it this way.

The "we've always done it this way" was simply sending artwork back to the client and asking for "fonts to be outlined". I've always said that because that's what I've always done. That was the answer then and I assumed that was the answer now. But it wasn't.

You may have heard this exact phrase many times over the years if your in the print industry. Basically it means that a designer has created artwork in adobe illustrator and has not converted the fonts to shapes.  This means that when the file is opened on a different computer, that does not have the fonts installed, then the computer will just replace them with the default font. Making the artwork useless. 

Well here is a neat trick that I found that lets you outline the fonts via acrobat pro before the font defaults.
