This is different than my experience.
I found that if a .pdf file didn't display correctly in Preview, then
Acrobat 7 would probably display it and print it correctly. Usually
these were .pdfs from PC users.
Isn't this odd!
Incidentally, so far I have been using Apple's built-in pdf creation
utility with no problems, either with Finale or with AppleWorks with
imported EPS graphics. I understand there are some features missing
compared with Distiller, but I haven't needed them so far.

There are some anomalies on the Mac side of things as well when it
comes to printing and viewing pdfs.
I recently made a pdf of a Finale file using the new Acrobat 7
Professional print driver. There were some note heads missing as
well as missing staff lines here and there when viewing the file in
Acrobat 7 or Acrobat 7 Reader. The results were the same on screen
and in print.
I took the same file and opened it in the Apple Preview program
instead of Acrobat and everything was there and it printed just fine.
Go figure.

Well, it is impossible to save this file as one EPS since it has
quite a number of pages. I did try to save as PS and Distill, with
exactly the same result.
