I was using AdobeexportPDF

I had the PDF resume, prepared on my mac, on my PC at work. subscribed to the AdobeExportPDF, and used that to choose the file to convert, and the result is a mishmash of symbols, etc.

thankyou,

It's probably not a Mac vs. PC issue, since PDF has always been very compatible across platforms by design. It could be that the specific application that created the PDF file generated flawed PDF, or simply that there's a bug in ExportPDF.

I don't know if you've tried it, but there is a forum specifically for ExportPDF. If you post your question there, I recommend describing as exactly as you can how you created the PDF file in the first place:
