Description
Would be nice to retain text as text rather than converting to paths and embedding the fonts if possible within PDF's. I am sure that converting text to paths too much is increasing the file size quite a lot on complex maps. It would be good to at least have an output settings screen that allows changes to the type of file output to be made.
Having text embedded would allow for better accessibility and searching when viewed in a PDF viewer as well.

whenever exporting a layout to PDF
This matches the behavior with SVG and raster exports, and allows users
to set specific properties for the export (such as text rendering format)
