Import pdf into v7 and get chinese out of nowhere. It is a ridiculous bug.

Hi Ivan - I see this - my guess of the moment is that it could be related to this message on opening the pdf:
Rhino 7 PDFReader
Embedded PDF fonts cannot be loaded.

Hi @ivan.galik,
If you can find and install the ISOCPEUR font on your PC the import ought to work.
As an alternative workaround, you can export the content from Acrobat into a Word file. That will replace the ISOCPEUR font with a default font (e.g. Arial). You can then save the Word document as a PDF, giving you a PDF with workable fonts for the Rhino import:
NOTE: I haven’t proofread this so can’t claim it will be 100% correct…

alright i sense issue arises from font missing but how does it end up with chinese is unknown to me 
But it doesn’t. Nor does exporting as a Word document from Acrobat use the ISOCPEUR font even if it is installed. Possibly more to do with the encoding (Identity-H) than the font?
If I create a new PDF including the text VEREJNĂť SILNOPRĂšDOVĂť in the ISOCPEUR font, I can import that into Rhino without problems. That suggests the problem may lay in how the original PDF was created.
