Forum: forums Subject: PDFs being rendered with Wingdings font?

Just a follow up to the upload issues I had last week. So I have now uploaded 600+ PDFs to my newspaper collection but I see about 20 files having font issues where Wingdings is being displayed instead of the original font as below

Some of these 20 files are over 20 years old so not sure that the fonts were embedded correctly?

I will attach the original file if that helps you locate the missing fonts?

that pdf is looking fine for me. can you point to a page in the pdf where you see this? maybe it is your browser/app settings?

That is strange? The front page is displaying the Wingding characters, I clear my browser cache I guess?

Found out what the issue was so just have to flatten the PDFs into one layer with all the fonts and I uploaded it again, now it displays correctly
