I used InDesign to finish a report, and saved it to PDF so I could mail it to the print store to printed it out.

The PDF file looked fine in Acrobat DC, but when it printed out, some of the text were missing.

Is there setting I can change to avoid the problem when I save the InDesign file to PDF?

Thanks a lot~

The white type is likely set to overprint (Window> Output> Attributes). To see the overprinting in InDesign, you need to go to View> Overprint preview, to see the overprinting in Acrobat, the page display preference to show overprinting should be set to Always.

You would normally Export to Adobe PDF (Print) or use one of the Adobe PDF Presets, how did you produce your PDF?

Thanks for replying,
I exported my PDF by using Adobe PDF (Print), and used the default settings.
