You are missing the font that should be used in the PDF. Substitute fonts usually appear that way in PDFs because the glyphs (character images) are different sizes from the ones used to calculate the positions of each character. I don't have an Inkpad 3, so I don't know what is available, but if there are multiple PDF readers available on the device, then one of the others may have the font available to it. I would guess that the Adobe reader program would have the best chance of rendering the text correctly. Use the "Open with..." menu item to select which reading application is used.
