I got the same issue using the Acrobat Pro 2025

 

What could be the solution for this?

What do you mean dashed letters, is it like this dash - - - , or disjointed letters such as here ع ر ب ي?

Is there a chance of sharing the form with me?

The fields in the form need to have a font that supports connected script. This is not something you can do yourself using the free Reader. The author of the file needs to fix it and send you a new version.
