Problem printing PDF hieroglyphs

Solved

Hello,
When I print PDF files, sometimes there are no problems, but sometimes hieroglyphs appear. The document starts printing correctly and then, at some point, hieroglyphs replace the characters. (The hieroglyphs are sequences of letters and dots, the shape of the text is kept, it’s just the characters that change and it doesn’t make any sense anymore).
I specify that the same document can print perfectly well once but not the second time, and the hieroglyphs can appear anywhere. Sometimes at the beginning of the document, sometimes in the middle...
Before, I could print them.
I believe this problem appeared after an update of Adobe, at one point I was prompted (I don’t remember exactly, something about a bookmark that I validated) I think the problem comes from there. I have uninstalled Adobe and reinstalled it several times, but nothing.

Still the same problem.

Thank you for coming to my rescue. I also want to specify that I’m not very good with computers.

Configuration: Windows XP / Internet Explorer 7.0

Indeed, this can happen when the PDF is not generated correctly.

In this case, Adobe has accounted for this and allows you to print from Acrobat the file as an image. In the print window of Acrobat Reader, open the "advanced options" and check the "bitmap" option. This should resolve the issue.

I had the same thing: when going into the document properties, I removed the web address that was mentioned there.
