Thomas, I have generated a PDF for the Spanish version of MYOSA which does NOT have the funny characters in it. I used the method used for creating a PDF for a printed book (OBJAVI II). I did not do the work required to actually make a PDF good enough for a printed book. All I did was take the defaults, and the title page is still in English because I don't know Spanish. However, this PDF may suit your purposes better than what you have now.
