You don't say which version of PDF or which OS. Open the file go to File> Document Properties > Summary. Under version you should see 1.3 or 1.4. Ask the printer which version he needs.
You may have ticked a box somewhere which did not embed the fonts and the printer only has a caps version of that face.
I am not familiar with Illustrator but other Adobe programmes require flattening of the image to be compatible with older versions of PDF. The basic difference is that the newer versions of PDF are editable to a degree and enable shadows and spelling to be changed later.
OSX handles PDF creation differently than earlier OS so you will probably have to change defaults if your PDFs were OK under 9.2.

Although this might be of topic, I will ask for assistance anyway.
I had created a map in Illustrator 9.0.2 on a MAC, the map contained type, shapes and lines, looked fine on my PDF, and on a soft proof ripped to an Epson wide format printer, but when it was ripped to negs, ALL of the items were BOLD...same shape, size, placement, etc, but bold???anyone have an explaination. The printer was clueless.
