I often have to open documents in Acrobat just to convert the text into paths. Doing it in InDesign is not an option for me as it I often need the text to be editable in the InDesign file after exporting.

This could be either a single checkbox called convert text to paths or even a new Tab called PDF Corrections beneath Advanced, Security, Summary, etc where all the pdf correction options from Acrobats preflight menu are.
