Pardon me if you've heard this before but I have not found a solution.
Win XP, Word 2010, Acrobat Reader X. I've replicated it at home on Win 7, Word 2010.
Prepare an expression in Equation Editor and convert the Word file to a PDF. Unlike other older problems I've read about, this gives all the text but it mucks up the brackets, changing then from tall thin curves into short fat ones which each look like a pair of boomerangs with top one balancing on bottom one. They overlap the rest of the typing.
The same happens when I use Equation Editor 3 by going to Insert > Object.
It does appear to be a PDF problem rather than Word, but I am using the Word tool to do it.
Please would you suggest where I'm going wrong?
Thanks
Jonathan
