Cannot extract the embedded font Some characters may not display or print correctly.

Question

Hi, I updated my apps last month (mid September 2022) and now get the message "Cannot extract the embedded font Some characters may not display or print correctly." And the fonts display awful, if I open older pdf's that I've made beyond last month, I don't get the message and all looks great.

Also, if I open the pdf in Apple Preview app, fonts look as they should.

Anyone having the same issue? I need a fix Adobe asap.

Thanks community

Just test the pdf file, and opening it in Adobe Illustrator and the fonts look great, but in acrobat it a mess.

Ive even downloaded the oldest version of indesign to make a pdf and still the same message "Cannot extract the embedded font Some characters may not display or print correctly."

Attaching 2 images, 1 pdf opened in Illustrator and a secomds showing how it looks in acrobat...

Any help would be Amazing
