I missed the beginning of this discussion, so maybe this has been
covered, but here's my data point for what it's worth.
I have a client I've been working with for ages. I never used to
have trouble sending PDFs to her, but after making two simultaneous
upgrades -- Mac OS X.3 to X.4 and Finale 2k2 to 2k4 -- she couldn't
read my PDFs. She could open the file, but the embedded font
information was lost, so that it looked like music staves with
gibberish on them.
I was able to solve the problem by choosing "Save as PDF-X" instead
of "Save as PDF" in Apple's print window. I don't even know what a
PDF-X is, but it worked for us. (It also solved the problem if I
didn't choose "Save as PDF" at all but instead printed to Adobe's PDF
driver, but that's not available for those who haven't purchased Adobe.)
She was reading the files on Adobe Reader 5.0, by the way. She is
mildly technophobic, so persuading her to upgrade was not my first
choice if I could solve the problem on my end.
