<![CDATA[Built-in PDF viewer shows garbage]]>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

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

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.

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?

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:
