AD can output a PDF. You generally wouldn't send AI, PSD or INDD files to print – at least, I wouldn't.
Edit: I take this back... I'm pretty sure in the past I've definitely sent over INDD packages before. Brain melt... depends on the project tho.
Not yet, but then again a) my print jobs are modest / limited and real pros likely have needs I don't, and b) I almost always set everything myself and use only finished, compressed files. Meaning, I'll outline the fonts and send a PDF or TIFF, never any proprietary formats... and those are universal!
