I didn't see any responses, so I'll try to offer some hints.

0.  incomplete descriptions of problems tend to be ignored.  Look at
<http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html> How to Report
Bugs Effectively.

1.  PDF is very widely used by people who have never heard of TeX.
There are troubleshooting documents and user forums on Adobe's web
site, and the comp.text.pdf group that may be able to help.

2. there have been many improvements in MiKTeX-2.5.  Since 2.4 appears
to be broken, the old "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" adage doesn't
apply here, so if at all possible, upgrade MiKTeX,
the printer drivers, and your PDF viewers (gsview and Adobe Reader)
to current versions.
