Jessica,
I've been participating in a minor way with several other writers on
this bug in the
Adobe User forum, and there may be a solid work-around.
Try this: Assuming some flavor of Windows, delete the font cache file at
C:\WINDOWS\system32\FNTCACHE.DAT. Reboot the machine to force the font
cache to rebuild. Distill the file(s) again.
The problem seems to be related to how Windows handles some JKC
(oriental character) fonts, which can be huge files. A few people say
they've affected a permanent fix by deleting these fonts from their
systems, but I haven't tested that. I can solve the problem by
deleting and rebuilding the cache, however. It doesn't seem to be a
permanent fix, although it will work for a while. And no one has
ventured an opinion on what, exactly, it the problem, although Adobe's
Acrobat people are treating it as a bug now.
Cheers,
Art

Thank you, Schlomo,
I normally do print to .ps and distill using the watched folders feature.
However, working on new development projects, I am constantly being asked
for drafts of books other than the ones I am working on. Also, I often
have to publish specific page ranges. When it was working, the Save As
feature was a nice, quick shortcut.
I did get the Save As to work by deselecting the Generate Tagged PDF and
using the High Quality Print job option. The Press Quality job option
still erased text--both inside and outside of tables--even with tagged PDF
deselected.
So odd.

Turn off "Generate Tagged PDF", which may cause some text to be invisible,
in conjunction with "Save as PDF"
(see http://www.microtype.com/FM_bugs.html#FM71 for a link to a sample
file
demonstrating this problem).
Better yet, avoid using "Save as PDF" -- instead, print to a .ps file and
distill.
If the problem persists, additional items to check are the PS driver
resolution and (less likely) the fonts being used.
