Automatically outline text when exporting to PDF

Please add an option to convert text to outlines during PDF export while keeping the text editable in the original Illustrator document.

Currently, I have to manually outline the text, export the PDF, then undo the outlining so I can continue making changes. Repeating this for every revision requires extra clicks and makes it easy to accidentally save the working file with outlined text.

An “Outline text on export” checkbox in the PDF settings would simplify this workflow, save time, and preserve editable text in the source file.
