From older discussions on the list it seems that's a latex problem and you 
have to instruct him to generate the pdf in a different way so that it works 
correctly.

Some discussions mentioned using

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}

But i am not really a latex user so i can't really tell if that will work or 
not.
