Saving to PDF inserts additional space

I have a simple RTF document that ends up with additional space between words when saved to PDF. It varies depending on the number of spaces, but any spacing greater than 1 doesn’t render correctly. In the attached example, 5 spaces is rendered as 9 spaces. This issue doesn’t occur when the same RTF document is opened in MS Word and saved to PDF. The RTF is very simple and I tried 3 different fonts. The same issue occurs with all of the fonts I tried.
