No, Wolfram has not "generated some kind of messed-up PDF", it's just  
that you clearly do not understand how PDF and Mathematica handle non  
special characters. In a reply to an earlier message of yours I  
pointed out exactly what would happen if you copy a StandardForm (or  
even worse, TraditionalForm) cell from a PDF to Mathematica (did you  
read it?). The reported behavior is just the expected one, and the  
main reason why I have not even bothered to download these PDF files.
