Oh, I should have mentioned that I've tried: pdflatex ps2pdf DVI dvipdfm So it's something that is either a problem introduced by an update of Mac OS, or it's an Acrobat problem. It's also relevant that this happens with very simple files--just an article class file with a title, an author, and some paragraphs. No fancy fonts. Maria
