Source: InDesign 2022 documents

Output: PDF (any format) with Embedded Fonts (western alphabets)

Problem: On screen and print the PDF appears OK, when crawled by Googlebot the text is a bounch of "garbage" unreadable charaters.

Note to readers: Please do not suggest the "Copy-With-Formatting" option as solution. I'm talking of Google crawling and search indexing in this post.

Link to PDF as example.

Did you even try to look at the PDF example?

(InDesign works fine, it seems to me a "fonts-encoding" problem.

You have created the PDF file in InDesign. May be a issue of the export settings in InDesign.
