I think some of the tools for creating PDFs must create stuff outside of
the "standard". I recently had one that wouldn't print at 2 to a page
recently. I hadn't had one of those for a while so I suspect the last
one was from the same source.
In the past I have used kpdf is an alternative when I've had issues.
I haven't installed any of the Adobe readers since I had one which
installed too many "bells and whistles" and had become invasive.
