Question

Batch conversion to pdf getting error message "To preserve appearance, some text has been outlined."

Created an Illustrator automation to convert AI into small size pdfs. I need to batch over 100 files. I've being doing this for years without a glitch. However, now I'm getting this appearance error message that I can't get away from. It will not batch anything at all. It creates a blank document. I did an automation with every pdf output available and I even created one with fonts outlined and still will not work. Have anyone had this problem before and how did you fixed it?

Is this something you're doing from inside AI, or are you using Adobe Acrobat?

The files are being batch with an action in Illustrator. 

In case anyone comes across the same issue, I was able to restore my batch actions by setting the preferences back to  default. It was the only option to fix the appearence error during the batch action.
