After creating outlines for the text in file and saving it as pdf, some of text characters becomes bold [ish]...

It happend to me once beffore, then it was just for few charracters and i solved it by manually replacing those.

But now i have quite a lot of them, what could be the issue, and how to resolve it?

Thanks!

Solved!

The error accoured not only ON acrobat, even when open pdf with Chrome was the same.

Found A video where it was explained that this happens with object (outlined text) where is only four points (small L, big i, - and so ON) it didnt explain why but when i added 5th point it was Solved.

You're viewing this in Acrobat?

Acrobat has some "enhancement" features that interfere with your outlined text.

And what CMHprepress said.

This is normal because Acrobat no longer knows that this was supposed to be text. So, outline text if you need to for some unusual print process. But don't outline it if you're planning to view it on screen, because this WILL happen.

nbdesign,

It may sound too silly, but what if you have CPU on instead of GPU (Ctrl/Cmd+E toggles between them) when you Save (a Copy) as PDF?
