So in regards to Illustrator's group ability, while the individual objects inside the group maintain their own separate appearance (their own strokes and fills), you can apply additional effects (like additional strokes and fills) on top of them by applying these strokes and fills to the "grouped" object.Įdit: See Scott's answer for other ways to create a single vector art object.
For instance Adobe Illustrator supports layers (more for Z-index manipulation and file organization), groups (where many objects can be grouped and manipulated together - the most useful in regards to your question), and Symbols (which creates an object that if you change the source symbol and all symbols made from that symbol will get updated with the changes).

When editing in Illustrator, text will be live, but in the PDF it will be outlined. If you have your image in another layer you should still be able to see it.
But if you really want to outline fonts automatically, apply the Effect > Path > Outline object to all your text object. 3 Answers Sorted by: 1 You can set the layer with your paths to outline mode by command+clicking on the layer in the layers panel. That being said, many vector art programs have a way of "grouping" objects so that they can be moved or manipulated as one item. In Illustrator, you can select objects that lie underneath other objects using Ctrl+click (Windows) or Command+click (macOS). Embed the fonts in the PDF as everyone has said. If you merged all objects into one single object, the vector artwork program doesn't have a way of turning all the fills and strokes of the individual objects into a "combined" fill or stroke attribute for the final merged object. This is because the way vector artwork programs work, everything is an object and these objects have fill and stroke attributes.
