   Starting with version 29.3, Illustrator got the 'Embed permitted fonts for file preview' option in the Illustrator Options save dialog.

   Currently it’s disabled by default, because there were multiple confused complaints on the changed behavior.

   When missing in your current system, fonts will render as previews in the documents that were saved with this option enabled — it 'bakes' these outlines in. When we try to edit one though, we get a warning and the font becomes substituted, as before.

   For more details and help, please see this article: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/illustrator/using/find-missing-fonts.html

   However, this is not 'Convert text to outlines on open' as we requested it. The option does not provide a way to do that for all the embedded outline previews, and Ai still doesn’t allow to select these at once. So do please upvote the request and comment and tell the team about your experience with this option, for it to be developed further.

   you can open an AI file in Acrobat
   - then open the Flattener preview
   - check the box next to "convert all text to outlines"
   - click "apply"
   - save the ai as a pdf
   - open the pdf in Adobe illustrator

   done
   (but it would be best if Adobe Illustrator had an option to do it while opening the file)
