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.
