Hi @raphael_2525,
Thanks for sharing the file.
When I open the file, the error message for the font "ULPHJY +Arial, Bold" appears. Since this file was created with a third-party app, it likely used a custom font. While Acrobat attempts to render the file, the font does not seem to be properly embedded, hence the error.
After I used the Preflight font fix-up, the file opened, and those dotted lines turned into text. I know it may not fulfil your requirement that a font face be used, but now it is clear the issue is with the file, not with the app.
Please check the file attached that I fixed.
FYI... Why does Acrobat show font issues while browsers/other apps render fine
1. Acrobat is stricter about fonts
Acrobat and Reader strictly follow the PDF specification.
If a PDF doesn’t embed fonts properly, Acrobat tries to use the exact system font (or substitute one) → If a font is missing, you’ll see errors like “Cannot find or create the font.”
Browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox) or other viewers are more forgiving, and silently substitute with any available font without warning.
2. Font embedding differences
If the PDF creator only partially embedded fonts or didn’t embed them at all, Acrobat notices this and highlights the issue.
Browsers just render with a fallback font that “looks close enough.”
3. Transparency and text rendering
Acrobat uses a full PostScript and PDF engine to render content.
Many other viewers use lightweight rendering libraries (like PDFium in Chrome) that rasterize text differently, masking font issues.
4. Security / Licensing compliance
Acrobat respects font licensing more strictly. Some fonts cannot legally be embedded. Acrobat warns you.
