Yup...I've been there. :|

I had the same problems under Win 2K, using the PDFmaker app that
allows you to print a PDF straight from Word. My perennial thorn in
the side was the thickness of lines in tables. They would always
change in the PDF. I occasionally saw the funky character problem,
too.

Here's what I found helped:

1) When making the PDF (my .02 is to go with the PDFmaker), close all
other apps.
2) View the document in normal mode at 100%.

These reduce the potential interruptions and number of adjustments
that the PDFMaker has to do. With that said, I've never printed it to
Postscript and distilled it.
