Find and Replace dialog box show weird characters
Hello, Anyone who can help me fix these weird characters? I'm regularly using one of our files via Excel in the browser (SharePoint) and today I noticed that when I type in the Find and Replace ...
Do you all have Z@*.tmp files in "%TEMP%\acrord32_sbx\"
(ie "C:\Users\___???___\AppData\Local\Temp\acrord32_sbx\")
Turns out this is caused by 'odd' fonts used in PDFs. These special fonts are used to protect (obscure) the text in the PDF. The fonts have the letters and numbers at odd codepoints in the font and the encryption(?!) tool re-writes the text into the PDF using the remapped codepoints. Thus one can't copy&paste /search etc.
Somehow Edge is using that font.

Only 2 of my users should have that file. The other user has a computer that doesn't even have adobe reader on it to my knowledge.
- Are there Z@….tmp files in those folders?
