Converting text into outlines

If you have trouble printing certain PDFs because of incorrect fonts or glyphs, you can convert the text into vector outlines (contours of letters).

To do so, proceed as follows:

1.Choose the command File | Save as | Save as (convert text to outlines).
2.Choose a file name for the new PDF that you want to create.

Notes

Such converted text can no longer be edited by FlexiPDF or other programs.

Text converted into outlined characters no longer benefits from font hinting, which improves the display quality of the text on screens and low-resolution printers.

After conversion, you are guaranteed to avoid all font-related printing problems, since fonts will no longer play a part in the PDF (it will just be pages of vector art).

The conversion affects the entire document and cannot be undone.
