OCR'd document filled fonts d's B' 0's ?

I have OCR'd a document and at certain zoom levels the d's B's and 0's are filled like:

 

On desktop if I set Font Smooth to None it fixes the filling, but on mobile there is no options?

Is this an issue with the embedded fonts somehow? 

 

Thanks

There is a good chance that your fonts are actually embedded, because they were created on the fly, based on the scanned data. One option to avoid this problem is to scan as to save the OCRed document as "original image" with searchable text. This way, the OCRed text is saved "behind" the image, and the image is used for display purposes. This should look the same on both desktop and mobile.
