There is no good reason whatsoever to "transform fonts to outlines before saving as
PDF or EPS" from InDesign! Such transformations generally degrade the graphic quality
of whatever is subsequently displayed or printed and really doesn't accomplish
anything positive, unless of course you are trying to print to a buggy and/or obsolete
RIP. Fonts should be embedded in exported EPS or PDF from InDesign for highest
fidelity, searchability of PDF, PDF touch-up, and PDF repurposability!
