I generally agree with Steve’s last comment, where he says if your printer wants you to outline text, you should find another printer. (Here’s a piece on why you shouldn’t convert text to outlines. Who would have thought that here, in the second decade of the 21st century, we would still find ourselves explaining how to convert text to outlines in order to print our documents?!
