PDF Text Unreadable

Question

I have no issue making the below PDF. However, when I post in online the text becomes partially unreadable (see link below) . I have been told it is related to the Google Chrome PDF Plugin which seems to be true as I have no issues with this in Internet Explorer or Firefox. Any advise or a workaround (that still uses Chrome) would be greatly appreciated.

If I put security on the PDF document will that stop Google's PDF display capability from messing with the fonts?

1. It sounds as if you don't actually run Chrome. As it's free, and one of the most common browsers, you really might consider this.

2. Security will have no impact on this. Sounds like an inability to substitute fonts, not a "messing with".

3. I looked in Chrome and couldn't see a problem. Of course, I might have missed it. I used Chrome Version 52.0.2743.116 m in Windows 8.1.

Although I suspect that the issue is associated with fonts (embedded or more likely non-embedded fonts) and encoding (and how Chrome's own PDF interpreter handles same), we really cannot assist you if you cannot provide us a copy of the actual PDF file itself to examine.
