Are you using any custom font or just Arial font? Upload the file so we can take a look and see if we encounter the same issue.

Hi, 

 

I'm using a different font. But I've been using this font with revit for 5 years. The font is zekton rg

 

I attached the PDF with the jibberish text.

What PDF driver are you using? If you are using Adobe, you can change the font to Native truetype or Bitmap.

If I open the PDF the Lettertypes are ArialMT and Courier.

 

Depending on the printer change it's setting to include all lettertypes and/or  add the specific lettertype to always include, maybe that helps. (See attachment for sample)
