I noticed that when I open some PDF files in AI CS4 some of the type kerning (Spaces between some letters) is not the same as the original PDF file. I found another way of bringing PDF files into AI CS4 that holds the kerning. Open a new AI file, place the PDF, go to the OBJECTS menu/FLATTEN TRANSPARENCY/ High Resolution (not necessary just my choice). The file will now have editable text that does not have any kerning issues. The only draw back was all the clipping masks. I just selected them with the direct select tool (white arrow) and clicked the delete key twice.
