Hi Nadia! Thanks for flagging this and I’m glad you got it working! Yes, every once in a while I hear from and unlucky person whose PDF goes wacky in chrome. It’s puzzling! I’ve been looking into pdf compatibility to see what can be done.

alright: it was REALLY bugging me that i couldnt read the pdf normally so here's my batshit insane solution that probably doesn't help much since it destroys normal PDF functionality:
Download each individual page as a JPG, then convert that pile of JPGs back into a pdf. you can't highlight text or click on the table of contents anymore but it does become readable.
while looking for solutions i also saw a lot of things about weird fonts, overlay layers, and transparent text simply not appearing on chrome so I'd suggest looking at the text settings on the affected pages to see if there's any difference at all, cause it really could be literally anything.
