I had the same problem. It drove me crazy. One day, I was using a program called FontExpert, and it said there was an error in one of the fonts on my computer. The program fixed it. Later on, I opened a program in Acrobat, and it suddenly worked perfectly! I now believe that it was the font problem, not acorbat, that caused the file problems. Good luck!
