    for good reasons. Still, the article explains how to do it properly.

      Hi kaiknua,

      open the exported PDF in Acrobat Pro DC.

      Go to Print Production > Preflight

      Select "Acrobat Pro DC 2015 Profiles".
      Then list and select Single Fix Ups > Document > Convert fonts to outlines

       

      Now run the single fix up with button Fix.

        Never make Outlines from text. If you need it for some unknown reasons, do it only in Acrobat. In the prefliegt sextion is a command for this purpose, but not in InDesign.
