The problem with the missing middle slash of the tremolo is due to a
fault in the Maestro font. If you open the font in a font editor you
can see that there are in fact three copies of the middle slash
superimposed. This mostly goes unnoticed, but will be seen when
printing with recent versions on Acrobat. Note that it makes no
difference which version you use to create the file: the defect is in
fact always there, but only shows up when printed through Acrobat 6 or
7.
This was discussed on the MakeMusic forums:
http://forum.makemusic.com/default.aspx?f=5&m=145572 and I am still
wondering why MakeMusic doesn't release a corrected version of the
font. Surely it can't be that hard to edit this one character by
removing two redundant copies of the middle slash?

All of these printing problems happen with me as well, from my
publishers and from other printing places - both the missing middle of
the tremolo and the substituting of whole bar rests with semiquaver
rests - very embarrassing when you have the music in front of
professional orchestral players and they're all complaining to you
about it.
Taking a look at the Maestro font itself, there are a couple of
superfluous points on the top bar of the tremolo sign - maybe that has
something to do with it though I can't see how.
My PDF files were created on a Mac, and were printing from Windows
(from what they told me). All looked fine on the screen both on my
end and on the screen of where they were being printed.
The solution was to upgrade the version of Acrobat to the most recent
version - problem solved.
