That suggests a kerning problem, and possibly an unsuitable font substitution. You may want to dig into your distro's information on fontconfig. The command "fc-match Helvetica" can be used to see what your system's substitute for Helvetica is.
It's also possible the designer was a bonehead and adjusted the spacing between letters without embedding the font. That's . . . a little more difficult to fix.
~$ fc-match Helvetica texgyreheros-regular.otf: "TeX Gyre Heros" "Regular"
This is Debian 10.10 (amd64)
For me, it's arial.ttf, but that's because I have the old Microsoft corefonts installed.
Okay, so if you type or copy and paste a bunch of text into an editor program and change the font to "TeX Gyre Heros", does it look okay, or does it display the same problems as your PDF?
