I'm using InDesign 2.0x to create a document using common fonts. I save the result to a PostScript file and then distill it with Acrobat Distiller 5.0. When I view the document with Acrobat 5.0, all of the apostrophes are gone.

How do I fix this?

Why don't you try shooting the pdf straight from ID2? That IS one of its "touted" features. try doublechecking your distiller settings, you may have some wonky font subset stuff going on.

yes, this is a problem with truetype times... I have that problem just with printing, never mind PDF.
