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!
