Question

Squares replacing text corruption in reduced size pdf

When I have exported an indesign document as as pdf - Then use the Save as other - Reduce Size pdf - Occasionally some of the text within the document becomes corrupted, being replaced with squares in a line. Please can the potential reason/s for this be explained, so that I can prevent this from happening.

Regards Josh

    Hi @joej19035461 I see you don't have any answers yet, and I'm sorry about that. A moderator can move this to the InDesign community section if you haven't already posted your questions there, or if you don't have an answer yet. Let us know!

     

    Meanwhile, without seeing your files or knowing your end use for the PDF in terms of file size reduction, here is a suggestion. Instead of reducing the PDF after exporting, have you tried exporting your InDesign document with minimum Compression settings to see if it gets you there or close to what you need without the text corruption?
