Acrobat 11 - Text boxes are garbled

Question

Windows XP, Acrobat 11 (Hebrew)
I saved a number of Word 2007/2010 documents as PDFs and then combined them into one PDF. The original Word documents contained many textboxes. Although the individual Word documents that were saved as PDFs are fine, and the combined document looks fine as well, sometimes errors occurred.
I printed the document to my in-house printer and all was fine. I used WeTransfer to transfer the file to a publisher.
a) When he printed, a few of the many text boxes were missing some of the text. He sent back the file. I fixed the textboxes and sent it back using WeTransfer. At that time, a different textbox was missing some text. Also,
b) Occassionally, within a textbox, the ? at the end of a line printed at the beginning of the line instead.
Does anyone know if there is a bug or other reason that this is occurring?
Thanks

Thank you LoriAUC and Bill for responding. If you have patience, I still need help.
Lori, no, I had not been using the PDFMaker on the Acrobat ribbon. I had gone to Save As and changed the Type to Adobe PDF. I looked at the Acrobat ribbon now but I am having difficulty.
I see that under Preferences | Advanced Settings | Fonts, I can select fonts to embed and remove those in the Do Not Embed list. How do I ensure that this sticks? If I click Save, I am prompted for a name but when I return to the Advanced Settings | Fonts dialog box, the original setting is there.
How do I make the setting stick? How do I use my named settings? Is there a way I can use it automatically for all ~90 previously saved documents I am working with?
Also, should the “Subset fonts when percent of characters used is less than:” be set to 1?
Bill, where are the Print or Press job settings?
Thank you both for your help. I really appreciate it.
