Turn off "Generate Tagged PDF", which may cause some text to be invisible, 
in conjunction with "Save as PDF"
(see http://www.microtype.com/FM_bugs.html#FM71 for a link to a sample file 
demonstrating this problem).

Better yet, avoid using "Save as PDF" -- instead, print to a .ps file and 
distill.

If the problem persists, additional items to check are the PS driver 
resolution and (less likely) the fonts being used.
