What platform are you on?
Your problem #1 sounds like the good old Mac OS 8 Appearance extension
bug. (http://www.wolfram.com/support/Systems/Macintosh/FE/)

I have never had any luck using PDFWriter with Mathematica. Try simply
printing to a file and then process the file with Acrobat Distiller.
Also, Distiller needs to be told where Mathematica hides its Type 1
fonts.

Good Luck
