What are you supplying to Distiller as input? Is it a PostScript file that was generated by printing the notebook to a file using a PostScript printer driver? It is not clear from your problem description, but I would guess that the mixed up symbols are due to the fact that the Math fonts have not been properly embedded in the PDF file. Changes made to the design of Distiller for version 4 of the product have made it very difficult to embed fonts. See this article for more details. http://www.pdfzone.com/rich/fonts1.html -- P.J.
