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.
