When I create documents in pages and then export to PDF, when I open this in Adobe the text from the graphs is missing, however when I view it in other PDF viewers such as Preview it is displaying correctly.

Many thanks Tariq. Unfortunately, when I click on check for updates it tells me my current version is up to date but the problem persists.

Hi @george_1236 Is it happening with certain pages of pdf files where image with text is present. or, in general with every images with text in all pages, issue (text is missing from image) is observed? Can you please share steps and snapshot of the issue, that will help us investigate the issue?

Hi @Subrato Namata , Please see the screenshots below. You can see the graph data appears on pages but not on adobe (however it does in Apple Preview). The PDF was made by File>Export to>PDF, I also tried other methods of saving including Print>Save as PDF but with the same result.
