Many of us prefer to convert all text to outlines or curves before sending to printer. However, it is very easy to export a pdf from coreldraw with all fonts to curve but with other software like Microsoft word, Adobe Indesign or Illustrator it is somehow very difficult.
But here is a very simple solution, if you are using Adobe Acrobat PRO to view or edit pdf before sending them to printer for final prints.
Steps to convert All text into outlines in a PDF using Adobe Acrobat PRO
- Open PDF in Adobe Acrobat PRO.
