Deron,
Here is the attached file. I found out out to eliminate the problem,
but want you to be aware (in case you aren't) of how it can occur. The
attached file (Test) will create an error when trying to save it as
PDF. The problem is created by the F sub a to the left of the figure on
page 2. You can fix the problem by deleting that object. Note that it
was typed in without a column around it, by simply typing Fa, then
subscripting the a from the menu Type/TypeStyle subscript.
The size was changed to 16 using Type./Size, and the F made boldface
with Type/Attributes and set to Times New Roman Bold.

The second issue is that the Symbol fonts are not present (or are
invisible) when viewed with Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.0 (I believe the same
is true for earlier versions, but haven't checked it recently. Note
that they will be present with this version of the file "Test", because
I did a kludge to get it to work. If you select the text column on page
1 as an object and use the stack to send it to the back, you should see
a letter sequence that had been previously typed in (selected as symbol
font) directly onto the page before the text columns were created.

If you delete that string of symbol characters, the original problem of
invisible symbol fonts should
occur again. That is the fonts are visible in the PageStream document,
but can't be seen in the pdf file that is created.

When I get a chance, I'll send you a copy of a file that has problem
with placement of sub or superscripts in a pdf file. Note that it
doesn't seem to be a problem with this particular document.

Thanks.

Dave

Found and fixed this! Took awhile to track this one done! Very pesky!

I think I fixed this as well (in r8/r8a!). At least it worked ok for me,
and I fixed an encoding problem previously.
