My suggestion is to do a little research on how PDF works. I think you'll find that if a recipient does not have the necessary fonts in a PDF document that didn't embed fonts, then the PDF reader will attempt to substitute for an available font. However, if it cannot discern a character to substitute, it will either leave it blank or will swap with an erroneous character.
You can avoid this 100% by creating the PDF from a bitmap image file instead. Another way is to make sure to "embed fonts" when creating a PDF. Both of these will result in larger PDF file sizes.
Lastly, to keep PDF file sizes to a minimum w/o font embedding, then use only common fonts found on most computers such as Times Roman or Arial.
