PDF Font Anomalies

When I export a PageMaker 7.0 PMD to PDF using Acrobat 7.0 Pro, although a PDF is ultimately created, there are all sorts of font anomalies, usually occurring with Times New Roman. For example:
1) The opening double quote is missing and the closing double quote displays as a lower case "f".
2) The apostrophe is missing.
3) The ellipses (three dots - ...) shows as an "a".
4. A series of underscores, when used to make lines do not show.

Even stranger, the generated log file says...
%%[ Warning: Helvetica-Bold not found, using Font Substitution. Font cannot be embedded. ]%%
%%[ Warning: Helvetica-BoldOblique not found, using Font Substitution. Font cannot be embedded. ]%%
%%[ Warning: Helvetica-Oblique not found, using Font Substitution. Font cannot be embedded. ]%%

...yet NONE of those 3 fonts are used in the publication!

Any idea what's happening and how to fix it?
 
Have you tried printing postscript and then running it through Distiller?

Using OSX 10.3.9 on a G4
 
Thanks for the response.

I tried Distilling from PS and it seemed to clear up all anomalies except one - I stiil have no lines (underscores) on my form, goldurnit!!

Any other ideas?
