Source: InDesign 2022 documents
Output: PDF (any format) with Embedded Fonts (western alphabets)
Problem: On screen and print the PDF appears OK, when crawled by Googlebot the text is a bounch of "garbage" unreadable charaters.
Note to readers: Please do not suggest the "Copy-With-Formatting" option as solution. I'm talking of Google crawling and search indexing in this post.

Did you even try to look at the PDF example?
(InDesign works fine, it seems to me a "fonts-encoding" problem.

You have created the PDF file in InDesign. May be a issue of the export settings in InDesign.

Who encodes the fonts? Yes, InDesign! How can it be anything other than InDesign or Google? Acrobat isn't involved in making the file - that's Indesign. Acrobat isn't involved in spidering the file - that's Google. There may be many faults in Acrobat or Reader, but this can't be one of them.
