Since losing InDESIGN packaging facility with fonts, I am finding it very challenging and nearly impossible to get our publication to press.
Packaging FONTS for outside printers to use. This was such a seamless process for designers and printers. I really miss it. My installed fonts and Adobe fonts are missing in the packaging process now. PLEASE bring this option back!

As a print service provider, I prefer to receive a high-resolution PDF with crops and bleeds vs native files. Partly for the reason yoiu specifically mention, and also because it allows for sending a much smaller file. As an example, we have some customers who use high-resolution images, which makes sense from a design perspective. If they use the export setting we provide, they will often produce a PDF that is less than 50 MB, however, if they send us the native files, it can be over 1 TB.
