Symbol font in PDF files not showed

Hi all,

I'm using PDF files that use symbol font on my PC computer. In these documents there are greek letters like "ro" that looks like a "p" letter.

On my computer these characters are displayed without any problem, but on my Ipad greek letters are not displayed at all... I can only see a blank space...

Is there a solution to display these characters ?

Thanks a lot.

Franck.

PDF compatibility between platforms when non-Latin letters are involved is hard to guarantee. Try different readers or use a different document format.

You do realize this thread is well over a year and a half old, right?

And embedding fonts into a PDF presents it own issues, not the least of which is a tendency to bloat the file.
