      A PDF that displays correctly in Safari and Firefox, most of it shows garbage.
      -- all in the wrong font. I assume it's a font problem or something.

      By garbage, I mean stuff like:

      If I select text/garbage in the PDF viewer and paste into some editor, it's perfectly valid text, so it's just the displaying that's off ...

      Version: 47.0.2631.71
      System: Mac OS X 10.12.6 64-bit

          This trouble is on Winows Opera, but on Linux it works well.
          47.0.2631.55 Stable System: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS (x86_64; XFCE)

          For example, this file in Opera on WIndows machine shows the garbage:

              Same. Since some day some PDF are not readable. If i copy a sentence and paste it to another program, i can read it. Perhaps a problem with the typesetting/the letters?

                I also have noticed this on Windows and Mac OS. I have worked around it by choosing to not use the chrome pdf as the default for now. This option is in the settings page.

                  I think they have solved the problem (vers. 47.0.2631.80 (PGO)).

                      Yeah, I've been experiencing the same thing from time to time for something about a year so far. Furthermore, the support team members never told what actually went wrong and what's the issue source. And when I try to annotate the document inside the browser it always gets the wrong scaling frequently. For such purposes, I use other tools, like this one as an example edit-pdf.pdffiller.com It's a web-based application and it works fine through Opera when the basic PDF viewer becomes malfunctioning
