    Can you send me your PDF file to admin at maximum dot software? I will double check exactly what your issue is.

    One problem may be the embedded font.

    There is also a known PDFtk bug that causes UTF-8 characters to not show up when you flatten the PDF. I have plans to switch to using a different tool, however, it will take some time for me to do that.

    Hello. I have a similar problem. In the pdf file only numbers and Latin fonts are displayed, and cyrillic fonts are displayed only if the input field is activated. Is this the problem you are writing about?

    if the input field is not activated – it’s empty.

    I believe in your case the problem is embedded fonts. Make sure you embed the correct font into the PDF file that is used to display the field data. Also, some users reported that the issue may be caused by the PDF viewer. What are you using to view the PDF?

    The other problem occurs when you try to flatten the PDf with non-latin characters. I believe this is not your case.
