A. This only seems to happen when the font is bold Times (or the bold style of any font that PrintToPDF substitutes with Times). Believe it or not, this is not a bug in PrintToPDF. It’s a bug in Acrobat Reader’s built-in Times Bold font. The PDF file is fine, as you can see by viewing it with GhostScript or with Mac OS X’s “Preview” application. Until Adobe fixes the bug, the only workaround is to use a different font or style.
