Might be an issue with fonts?

Some pdf are optimized to hell to the point of unused glyphs got removed from the embedded fonts to save spaces. When you edit them, some characters you added won't be rendered if it's missing the glyphs.

Try to make sure you have all of the fonts used by the PDF installed on your system. I tend to only make small changes, but not having the correct fonts causes issues for me.
