Hello!
At the end you mention some details about your system, but nothing
about the Acrobat or Adobe Reader's version.
The things you describe shouldn't happen because the CM fonts are
embedded as PostScript fonts (I assume that you're not using the PK
bitmaps). A failure can happen when you're already viewing the PDF
output of your TeX source, correct a little mistake, and invoke pdfTeX
again. The Adobe products are not reliably handling this! It helps to
close this file and re-open it from the list of recent documents.
There too is a chance that Adobe adds something to the data stream sent
to the printer, particularly when it's an HP LaserJet. These have a
'pre-processor' that tries to guess what kind of data it is that
arrives now, in case it's not marked being of any kind. It can be ASCII
data, it can be PCL, it can be PostScript -- and it can be PDF. You
should make some experiments with other printers, EPSON EPL-5800/5900
are quite reliable and exact. You too could install an HP software, HP
WebJetAdmin, to control, serve (firmware updates), and survey the
printer. Maybe it produces some error report that can be sent to you by
eMail.
There too is cmap.sty from Vladimir Volovich (with help from Han The
Thanh, Werner Lemberg et al). This package manipulates the embedded
fonts in the PDF file by adding a cmap property, that translates the
code points to Unicode. It makes pdfTeX output searchable, and
cut&paste pastes the right characters into the target document. It's
usage is easy:
\usepackage{cmap}
just after the \documentclass line.

Hi folks
MS conspiracy has caught me. My editing course requires that all work
be submitted in word. Yes I know. It is enough to turn ones stomach.
But I have no control in the matter. I love my TeX. The thought of
working in MS is not good for my nerves.
Question; How do I get output from TeX to RTF or word on my Mac? or
convert PDF to RTF or word?

IMO HTML output is the better choice, seems to have better convertors;
and you can edit the output to look more like you intended. teTeX has
tex4ht, or it's in an i-Package, but there's also HEVEA,
http://pauillac.inria.fr/~maranget/hevea/. Could be you'll need to
compile the *latest* sources, for which you'll need an Ocaml compiler
(Objective Caml, Fink provides). Hevea has also its own list:

Hi,
I had the same problem once. There are several possibilities.
A good overview is given an this page:
http://www.csit.fsu.edu/~mimi/tex/doc/guides/wp-conv/textopc.html
My experiences:
latex2rtf is available as an i-Installer package, but it requires some
fiddling around with the latex sources in my experience.
To convert PDF to RTF, a commercial program is Textlightning, which does
its job quite ok (but page numbers and column titles etc. are not
recognized).

I am sure you can find something that matches your needs.

Another way:
Install the 2005 version using i-installer. There are some problems
in the 2004 version for doing the process described below.
Using tex4ht convert your document to HTML:
htlatex filename
Open in Word or TextEdit or Pages.
After opening in TextEdit or Pages you can save as a Word document.
You can also go from (La)TeX to Open Office to Word by using tex4ht
to convert to Open Office.
I have found TeX to HTML to Word to be very effective. I use a config
file that converts to simple html 3.2 or 4.01, depending on the
command line option.

Howdy,
I used to get a nicely formatted table using htlatex on the source
below. The compile options (i.e., first option list after the file
name) to compile was "html, pic-m, pic-tabular, pic-fbox" (as in the
commented out \usepackage) and it was compiled via CLI. Of course
the table and all of its contents were really graphical images but
they looked nice on the screen. Somewhere along the line things went
bad and with the latest 2005 gwTeX the image of the table isn't even
built. If I leave out the options or change $...$ to \(...\) I get
something but it's really ugly.

%!TEX TS-program =3D htlatex
\documentclass[11pt]{article}

\begin{document}

Are you now able to edit equations directly in Word? I use latex2rtf
for that reason (plus the support for natbib/apalike citations), and
I've been quite happy with the output. Not all packages or options
are supported, but a motivated C programmer can fix that :).

Herbert,
Can the problem be related to tmmtmx.sty? I couldn't locate that file
in ctan and google. Without that file I get the output
http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~gurari/temp/herb.html
which seems to be fine.
Can you email me the .log file, the messages issued by tex4ht.c, and a
pointer to tmmtmx, to allow me a closer look at the problem.
