Please add "Convert fonts to outlines" function in Export/PDF/Advanced dialog box in InDesign.

I'm going to be the Devil's advocate here and actually agree that it would be required.

From time to time, I have to deal with suppliers that aren't in the ink-on-paper space but still involved in printing, but they need to handle the files that I've given them that were created in InDesign. Now these suppliers range from applying spot UV varnishes to making hot foil stamps or emboss/deboss blocks - the two latter are often done with cnc machining and they need to open the files outside of Acrobat... so naturally one of the first issues they will have is missing fonts... and I certainly don't want them to substitute the fonts out!

It's also very easy to say "use another provider" but come to Adelaide sometime and see just how many providers we have that are local and not interstate in Melbourne or Sydney. Cost and Time does play a big part in who we use as a contractor and I'd love to say to my supplier "get with the times" but they'll just tell me to "get another supplier" that will add days to the turnaround and eat $$$ of margin.

However, I do agree with Bob Levine that this isn't the place to ask - the indesign uservoice is where to make the feature requests.

Thank you, but I think it's evident and efficient!

Thank you, but I know the Acrobat Pro Preflight function (and us it).

I think it better and simplier in workflow in the InDesign as function.
