some corporate font for CellBody (GE Inspira), the text of CellBody 
takes on the shading color of the table cell and disappears, but only

anchored under the level 2 heading.

Are they running Windows XP? There was a Microsoft bug that caused 
dropped characters in PDFs. Microsoft issued a hotfix. In Windows XP
