Thank you for letting me find a workaround for exporting math equations from pdf to illustrator. Is it also possible to do such convertion from text to outlines when exporting to eps file in Adobe Acrobat Pro?

do you know how to undo this by any chance

[anthonyyelchibekov]

Thanks! I've been asking clients to resend files with outlined fonts since ai doesn't read them if you don't have it. This saves me a lot of time on the back and forth.
