The only difference that I can see is file size, is that what you mean? Could be font encoding, OT vs Type 1.

First, can you please elaborate: do you mean that you received an existing PDF, then created a new PDF from an InDesign file, and observed visual differences between these two unrelated PDF files? If so, then it's unclear why you would expect those two files to be identical in the first place.

 

Second, do you have any particular reasons to use InDesign 2022 instead of the current version, InDesign 2025?

    p.s. as evident from your screenshots, the first PDF was created sometime in 2023 from a totally different InDesign file.

      Both PDFs were created using InDesign 2022, Refer attached screenshot for your reference.

      1. The PDF we received from the customer was created using InDesign 2022

      2. Accordingly, we also used InDesign 2022 to create our version, as the file uses Type 1 fonts, which require compatibility with that version.
