Issue is that instead of getting characters in the header, we get squares.

Seems the survey is english while the characters are in chinese.
The font used in the PDF doesn't support Chinese characters.
Alternatives:
1 - Turn survey language to chinese.
2 - Change default PDF font (the one english one I guess) to one that supports chinese characters

Why aren't they are not using chinese language?

Ok, so for everyone having this issue:
Check if the language you export to isn't different from the language used throughout the survey (e.g., there will be errors if base language is English, but language throughout survey is Chinese).
