Hi,
Is there any possibility to convert a PDF file containing embedded fonts to a EPS/PS file containg JUST PATHS???

I do not want to extract paths, but I need to edit the pdf file in illustrator 10 without changing the text but the other graphics...

If I'm able to print the file correctly I should be able to openint as well (without extracting the fonts whych I know is not legal)

Thanks in advance,
Dani.
 
I think what you can do is select the fonts and hit Ctrl + Shitt + O to outline the fonts and will convert to paths and that way it will not embedd font information. The file size will increase though.


Hope this helps,

-Jerry
