On behalf of Adobe Systems Incorporated:
Adobe Illustrator is not, repeat not, repeat once again not a general purpose PDF file editor. The only PDF files that Adobe Illustrator can safely edit are PDF files saved from Adobe Illustrator using the “save for editability” option. Otherwise, you risk font substitutions, color space changes (Illustrator only supports one color space at a time), color changes, and either lost or transformed graphic objects.
Plus, regardless of whether fonts are embedded in the PDF file, Illustrator requires the actual font to be installed on the system Illustrator is running on. It never attempts to use the any fonts embedded in the PDF file.
We speak from experience on this subject. One of the greatest sources of prepress problems that we hear about here at Adobe can be traced to prepress personnel who try to “fix things” in any old PDF file by opening the PDF file in Illustrator and resaving, even if they make no explicit changes.
Our original advice stands. There is no need for such outlining of text for CTP RIP operations. The only case where we have heard of such a requirement where there was some validity to the request were in situations where a sign cutting machine that could only accept vector commands was being driven by a retrograde RIP that wasn't intelligent enough to derive the vectors from the font definitions in the PDF file. CTP is certainly not that same type of situation! Most often, such so-called requirements for outlining text comes from uninformed prepress personnel relying on advice from even more poorly informed co-workers (I dare not call them professionals).
