Craig,
It sounds like you got hit with the Windows XP bug that caused
intermittent, unexplained dropping of text in PDFs. As I recall, the
problem was with the MS Postscript processor. There was a Microsoft
hotfix issued to deal with it. At the time, the problem and fix were
pretty well known on this forum.

Not to burst anybody's bubble, but even back in the fondly remembered
"Golden Age of FrameMaker" (circa 5.5-7.0) PDF could be faulty. I had
dropped captions there was no explanation for in tabloid printouts heavy in
graphics. Pretty simple stuff, a set of 16 graphics each inhabiting an eight
of a single sheet (double-sided), each having a short title caption in a
text box below it (below being relative to the image orientation). Somehow
one caption would just fail to print. All you folks still living in the
Golden Age; give that a try. My guess was that it some kind of buffering
issue that dropped things after a certain size was reached. It never
affected the graphics, just the text. (If memory serves, the issue may also
have be related to whether the text box was rotated, but the Golden Age is
so long ago now I'm not sure about that.)
