I had a "related" problem: in a text in English with several formulas, some of the numbers in the formulas become some weird characters (I'm an ignorant in this, I believe there were Hebrew, but I'm not sure) when I export the document to PDF.
The solution I found was to only check "create PDF form" selecting "PDF" in the "submit format", in the "General" tab when the export dialog appears (I'm using the File->Export as PDF, and no the button on the toolbar). I also check "Export Bookmarks" and "Export automatically inserted blank pages" but that shouldn't change the result.
Good Luck !
