That used to work, doesn't now. Regardless if I import curves instead of text, I get garbage. Not the SAME garbage, but still garbage...
On the left is 'text' garbage (as in my above post, on the right is 'curves' garbage...

And I MUST be able to import text in order to avoid hand typing and the typo's that come with it
Mike, I've also switched to Foxit, right after I PAID for Adobe (which would never load, and most times would freeze the whole computer...)
I DO know this much, it's NOT the PDF reader programs causing this, it's programs like SolidWorks and some others that are scrambling text specifically so non-paying 3rd parties like us can't use files their customers send us...

I appreciate you're checking into this - Because I can change the font, and/or edit the garbage into actual letters, I've assumed it's just some sort of easy font code manipulation- much the same as Little Orphan Annie's decoder ring
I did some research on this problem, and the one source I found explained basically what you're saying, but the problem is, as I understand it, is that the code manipulation is random, and explained that if you could figure out the code with file A, file B would have a different code. The very dials above are proof of this, because one of my customers engineers figured out the 'crack'. Worked great on all the common files of the LAST job, so the buyer used the same crack on this last order, and no worky this time. My "ski lift 1" company fought this problem at the beginning of the year, affected both DXF and PDF files. Was a pain all around; the DXF's would import graphics just fine, but NO text at all would come in. Ironically, the PDF versions came in with perfect text, but the graphics were scrambled up. I had to superimpose each file, separate them, then delete the trash from both files and combine what was left! It took them about 3 months to figure it out on their end. Not sure what they did but I'm getting wonderful DXF's from them now, with ALL extraneous text, lines & dimensions removed. Easiest prints I've ever had to work with
