Illustrator gives you the opportunity to change text into outlines or artwork. Basically, you change the text into an object, so you can no longer edit that text by typing. The plus side is that it saves you the trouble of sending fonts to everyone who wants to use the file.
Turning text into outlines makes it appear as though your text was created with the Pen tool. You want to use this tool when creating logos that will be used frequently by other people or artwork that you may not have control over. This makes sending artwork to us or a vendor easy and painless as the files will be able to be opened on any software.
Please refer to the Adobe article below on how to convert text to outlines.
