[Bug]: New PDF viewer does not display text correctly #5530

Description

@hhg-technodat

What happened?

See attached pdf, it should display "STRANIAKSTRASSE" but with the new pdf viewer it displays "TUSBRKBLTUSBTTF".
It seems every character is shifted by one character in the alphabet.
With the old PDF viewer it is working fine as expected.
