I'm not aware of any other major problems except that all versions of
Acrobat display type 3 fonts badly and so it is advisable that type 1
fonts be embedded in pdfs when these are generated. This can be verified
within Acrobat by clicking File -> Document Properties -> Fonts -> 
List All Fonts, and verifying that all fonts are Type 1.

The Acrobat reader is the most widely used pdf viewer but other viewers
such as xpdf (on Unix/Linux) and ghostscript-based viewers such as gv
and gsview are significantly faster and render type 3 fonts better than
Acrobat.
