I have a 4 page document in InDesign that I exported as separate page pdfs. Three pages were fine, but one has garbled type. A preflight check shows this error for the bad text on that one page:
"Character references .notdef glyph"

I can't see anything different about those sentences, but tried replacing them with fresh type. Also tried exporting the InDesign document as an INX file and reopening it. Tried copying the page to a fresh document. None of these worked. I'm baffled. I use that font for this newspaper every month and have never seen this problem before, although this is the first time with the CS4 apps.

I can convert the text to outline, but want to solve this.

Thanks for any ideas.

(Mac Pro, CS4 software)
