That said, using an Acrobat preflight profile to outline fonts is one of the safest ways to do it with non-Illustrator PDFs. Converting text to outlines in graphic designs will help artwork be more portable and easier to archive for long term use and re-use.
When a design contains active text objects the same exact font files used to create that design must be present on the computer to avoid font substitution issues.
Problems may arise if the file is opened on a different computer, or a computer on another OS platform. We all eventually replace our computers.

This is so that you can come back and edit it non-destructively later, instead of having to recreate the artwork with text again. It doesn't matter if other graphic elements are selected. The text will become outlined and can't be edited as text see the image below right.
