Viewing Civil Drawing Turns text into a collage of boxes and letters.

Today I opened some civil drawings on Google Chrome, downloaded them to import into my Take-Off program and when I opened it up in the program the wording formatting messed up. Thinking it was my takeoff program I tried other projects I was working on, same issue. So I started viewing PDF's using the DC program and Architectural drawings are the only PDF's  that have this formatting issue. Just updated DC this morning and I can't find anything on other parts of the forum regarding a possible fix.

If anyone has any recommendations on fixing this, please let me know.
