ADE and 900 and Acrobat Reader show same PDF differently

Has any one ever come across this weird situation, see attached image. On the left is the PDF as displayed in Acrobat Reader 9.3.2 and on the right is the same PDF as displayed in both ADE 1.7.2.1131 and on my 900. As you can see ADE and the 900 render a perfectly good PDF into an unreadable document. I've never seen this before as ADE usually does a fair job with PDFs. Any ideas about how to fix the file? I do not own any PDF editing software like the full Acrobat, nor will I buy one as they are too expensive and I would rarely use them. I'm not going to try to convert a 10mb PDF into another format because it will come out horribly formatted. And no, I'm not going to use calibre to convert it as calibre does the worst job converting PDFs. There must be something strange in this PDF file but I cannot find what it is and like I said it isn't worth spending hours and hours converting and reformatting it.

BTW, this page is better than most. Most of the text has been changed to the very light sans serif font and the color seems to be gray rather than black. It is difficult to read in ADE, and nearly impossible to read on the 900.
