Although I can't help with your specific problem, I will offer this:
I have had compatibility problems with Mac-generated pdf's for many
years. Using the print menu to generate a pdf will result in a pseudo-
pdf with a different icon than an Adobe one. I used to send these in
emails and Windows systems couldn't read them. If I emailed them to
myself first, the result was a regular pdf with the Adobe icon in
return mail which I could then forward. It seems to me there are
options in 'save as' for a generic pdf as well as a regular one. could
this be the problem?

I'm sure that I'm doing something wrong, but I can't seem to figure
this out. I've made a secure PDF document by using the print method.
I select Print from Firefox or whatever and then select the PDF
button located in the lower left-hand side of the Print Dialog.
Next, I select Save as PDF... from the list and then Security
Options. In this window I enter a password that restricts modifying
and printing the PDF and save it. If I open the protected PDF in
Preview I am prompted to enter a password I try to print the
document, however, in Adobe Reader things are different. In Reader
V10.1.2 for Mac The print menu option is greyed out and I can find
no way to enter a password or print the PDF out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
