InDesign Text Printing Incorrectly When Exported to PDF

[Analise29353233wnwt]

I am having issues when I convert my document from InDesign into a PDF and then print it. The PDF file looks fine but when I print, the text is either bold or outlined and slightly fuzzy. 

However, when I create my document in Microsoft Word and export to a PDF and print, it looks great. I like the features that InDesign has but I have tried all sorts of things to fix this printing or exporting issue and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I don't understand why the font looks different when I print the PDF than how it looks on the screen.

This is occuring with only text on the page, no graphics or other objects.

Hi @Analise29353233wnwt,

Thank you for trying the suggestion shared by our experts on the post. Could you please tell us if it's happening with all files or with a specific file? Is it possible for you to share the InDesign file with me over a private message so that we can check on our end? Have you tried printing from any other printer to check?

Please share the version of InDesign and the details of your operating system.

Thanks,

Harshika
