Best current workaround to this phenomenom I found is to:

In "Save Adobe PDF" box, check "Acrobat 8 (PDF 1.7)" under "Compatibility:"

That seems to do the trick and not require "shift+enter" on each text line.

Changing the compatibility still didn't work for me so I ended up rasterizing the text and that DID work.

I agree his works. Thanks! The default setting for Print Quality in PS was saving a PDF with compatibility back to Acrobat 5. Acrobat 5 was released in 2011. Even Acrobat 8 is old, it was released in 2006. I don't think people need to plan compatibility with software that is 16+ years old.

Wen you save a PDF make sure it is supporting the fonts. PS is trying to handle it better.

Tune in to Adobe MAX October 19-21 for new updates!

This has been a long-standing issue with PS and Acrobat. In my experience, the first character in the last line of a paragrph always seems to partially get the ax. It only happens with san serif fonts and only with text set flush left (go figure.) The work-around I've found that has worked so far is to do a soft return (shift+return) at the end of the line above. Good luck!
