PDF amendments change to nonsense when saving a pdf

Hi all,

I'm needing to make some amends to a pdf, but when I save the file, the text I've included changes to nonsense, i.e. changes from "information I've added to the pdf'" to "JJJJGFWBJDUDNE" or some such.

I'm new to using acrobat so not sure if I'm doing something basic incorrectly. Have tried flattening it, trying to embed fonts (can't seem to do this) but nothing seems to work.

Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong or missing? I'm using Acrobat Pro DC

Thanks!

perhaps a clearer example - typed some text into this paragraph and when saving, it appears like this.

There are letterns on top of each other...

 

For example Q is on top of ",". Strange. Maybe you were trying to write and then hit save and then wrote on top?

Hey, nope, I wrote, either replaced text or added text, all is fine with nothing on top of the other text. It's only when I hit save that this overlaying occurs. It's not just the overlaying, the text I added is replaced by unrelated letters
