Hi,

What can be wrong with PDF/computer. In the attached picture there are fragments from one PDF which in adobe reader (10.1.3) shows boxes instead of characters. Opening same pdf with different program, I get correct result.

It could be a case of the PDF using certain fonts not available on your computer and not embedded within the PDF as well.

What I would try if I encountered your situation, is to install the Extended Font Pack from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4885 - not sure if this will help, but it's worth a try.

Extended font pack didn't solve the problem. Odd thing is that some characters in the middle of the string are missing and same character A is shown in the beginning, but not in the middle. When looking to document properties, it shows as used fonts as in attached picture.

Would it be possible for you to share the PDF with us?
