  • What application was used to make the original document?
  • How was the PDF made?
  • We're the fonts embedded?

 

It looks like it might be an issue of missing fonts.

I am really sorry but I am not able to check how document was made.
Could you tell me how to check if the fonts are embedded?

 

Yours sincerely

Hello Paulina
I have the same problem. Get PDF in Microsoft Outlook, some are ok and some are just like yours with weird characters. Updating Acrobate DC did not help.

 

Czesc Paulina.

Mam ten sam problem. Dostaje PDF w Microsoft Outlook, niektore są ok, a niektore tak jak u Ciebie z dziwnymi znakami. Aktualizowalem Acrobate DC nie pomoglo.

hello Jaroslaw,

The problem showed up with other documents on other computers. Some people were helped by the installation https://supportdownloads.adobe.com/detail.jsp?ftpID=6839 

Unfortunately it didn't help me 😞
