A question for Acrobat users ...
A quick test suggests DirectPS (printed to AcrobatDistiller v4) is not editable. But switch off DirectPS and you get an editable PDF. If this is documented somewhere, then my apologies.
What springs to mind, is fonts, either the type 1 / type 3 setting (in direct PS choices) or font substitution in the printer driver, which ISTR direct PS should obey.
For information, when a Test PDF containing just Times New Roman (normal and italic) is imported into Adobe Illustrator CS3, Illustrator reports:
"The font OP_Times_New_Roman is missing. Affected text will be displayed using a substitute font. The font OP_Times_New_Roman_Italic is missing. Affected text will be displayed using a substitute font."
