I have saved this file in multiple formats and all are illegible. What gives? This is driving me crazy. Never had this issue before.

Not about your problem - but why 1st body paragraph isn't aligned with the rest?

And why you are not justifying body text?

It's screen captures off the blog, resized and photoshopped together. Good alignment catch!

This is just an example. I've got a 20 page document with mixed samples: video, InDesign files exported as PDFs and reimported to decrease the overall file size and eliminate relinking issues; Word files exported in various formats etc., It all looks terrible except placed video files and the actual original Indesign builds. It used to be the whole reason for a PDF was to embed the fonts but now that doesn't work anymore either but I digress...

It still works and if you're having issues I suggest starting there. And then you can back into the other issues.

BTW, video in a PDF? Forget it. Horrible idea as it won't work on most PDF readers at all.
