Embedded Font in imported PDF not in final output

I am wording with a purchased version of FrameMaker 2017 and am having trouble with imported pdf drawings.

I get exploded diagrams with part numbers that are created by another person. In these pdf's I can highlight the part number and copy/paste it into another program (WORD as example).

I import these files into a FrameMaker book (File>Import>File By Reference) and they appear fine.

I finish the book by File>Print Book, select Abode PDF driver.

The problem is the imported pdf drawing numbers now won't copy/paste into another program (􀀜􀀗􀀖􀀃􀀘􀀙).

Any advise is appreciated.

So the text embedded in the PDF imports:
- is visble & copyable in the PDFs
- appears correctly in FM edit
- appears correctly in FM PDF output
? but isn't copyable
I'm unclear on when the 􀀜􀀗􀀖􀀃􀀘􀀙 glyphs arise.

Early suspects might be subsetted font embedding and/or use-system-fonts in output.

So the text embedded in the PDF imports:
- is visble & copyable in the original PDFs
- appears correctly in FM edit, Yes, the graphics and numbers are legible as they should be
- appears correctly in FM PDF output. Yes, the page looks correct.
After I've imported the graphic with numbers into FrameMaker, then pdf the entire book, in the book pdf I cannot copy those numbers. That is where the numbers don't come out correct.

It has worked in older manuals that I did not create. I would like to improve my manuals so they do.
