This is all on a PC, with docs originally created in Word.

Sorry... can't be much help there. For one thing, I'm on Mac. For another, I only use Word when I absolutely have to.

I had to convert 30+ pages of oversized images and irregular formatting from Word docs to PDF on a Windows box a while ago, and the only thing I remember specifically about it was that I had to re-install Acrobat once, got the Blue Screen of Death three times, spent 10x's as long on it as I would have with InDesign and Acrobat on my Mac, and never want to use that combination of software again (Word/Acrobat/Windows) again as long as I live.

;)

But check your Distiller preferences and see if it has any options specifically relating to font handling...
