How do I check if my PDF which should have been created in Illustrator or Indesign, is in outlines.
We print onto plastic and bottles and tubes and the factories want the artwork to be outlined. Previously i would open the PDF and click onto edit PDF and if i could change the text i knew it wasn't outlined. Little bit stuck so any help would be great.
THank you

Go to File menu : Properties : Fonts.
If the font list is empty you could assume the file is outlined.

You can use a script to return the number of words per page. If that number is zero, I guess you could assume the file is outlined. You can use this code to do it:
var totalNumWords = 0;
for (var p=0; p<this.numPages; p++) {
var numWordsPerPage = this.getPageNumWords(p);
totalNumWords+=numWordsPerPage;
}
app.alert("There are " + totalNumWords + " words in this file.",3);
