Printing to PDF produces blank parts of pages in Windows

[KillerUsagi]

Hey all -
I've got a wierd situation here. I'll print a powerpoint
presentation to PDF (with OS X 10.2.6), and everything will be fine
and dandy on my Mac. But when I view that file in Internet Explorer
on a PC, parts of the pages will be blank. Not all of the page will
be blank, but a big block of text or a big picture or something will
be missing. That or it will crash Internet Explorer.

Works fine on the Mac. Any ideas on this? Thanks, it's driving me
nuts!

You can't view PDFs in a browser per se; there needs to be a helper
app/plug-in installed.
That might be part of the problem, or it might be something different.

Eliminate some bits from the equation; leave out the browser. Open the
file on the PC in Reader or Acrobat, whichever is present. Does the problem
still occur?

Which version of Readobat?
