Embedding is when font files are incorporated (embedded) in the PDF, 
many PDF-readers can thus use the fonts for displaying. This is 
theoretically the best way to go - but there may be quirks concerning 
font rendering on the recipients system.

Outlining means that you convert the letters/glyphs in your document to 
individual vector objects, making them immune to font issues - but often 
making the files quite big.

Either one or both procedures are common practice before sending files 
to print-services to avoid discrepencies in final output.

See the section on PDF support:
