Your text will appear smooth and crisp at any size or resolution.Outlined text can be scaled infinitely without any loss of image quality.That said, using an Acrobat preflight profile to outline fonts is one of the safest ways to do it with non-Illustrator PDFs. I also wanted to point out that editing an Illustrator PDF in Acrobat can break it. Drawbacks include reduced quality on-screen viewing (type hinting is lost, "i" & "l" may appear bold), Text will no longer be searchable or ADA compliant, some type may not outline properly, particularly underlines or dicy fonts, the pdf will be harder to edit. In addition to your excellent points about outlining fonts, I would add that outlining fonts is rarely needed in a modern workflow. If you are sharing/ selling your files on Adobe Stock/ Shutterstock, add a note on the Pasteboard with the name of the font used, so that users may license/install the font if required.You can use the outlined one as your design file, and the original one as a backup. This way you would have your backup document available. Before you outline the fonts, you should first save your file as a separate document.Designers may not want to share the font. This generally happens with the files purchased from Adobe Stock/ Shutterstock. If you receive a file with outlined text, Illustrator may not be able to recognize which font was used initially and you would not be able to edit text if required. ![]()
