I'm trying to convert a large Word document (Word 2000) to PDF format (using Acrobat 4.0). The file converts, but when I open it, main bullet points are displaying as "?". However, sub-bullets (open circle) display correctly. I've tried Acrobat PDFWriter & Distiller, but encounter the same problem. Do you know how I can resolve this problem? Thank you.

Sounds like you are not embedding whatever font the bullets are created from (is it from the Symbol font?) when you create the PDF - have you checked the font settings?

(You should have version 4.05c to work with Word 2000. But, I think that update is no longer available.)
If you're using the 'bullets' from the Bullets and Numbering, don't, because they're not true bullets. Instead, type Alt+0149 to insert true ASCII bullets.
That said, I have good results with the square bullets from Bullets and Numbering, but the round ones are historically problematic.
