There are problems with files produced by pdftex and acrobat 5. (1) widgets, i adapted context (2) fonts, tom kacvinski adapted pdftex although both are more adobe/acrobat problems, pdftex is now okay. The font problem had to do with the new cool type dll's not supporting subsetted encoding arrays in the proper way [and more]. I've run quite some complicated tests [most of this happened off line between fabrice/tom/me/few people] with many fonts and it seems to work ok. Another improvement of pdftex is that pdf inclusion is more efficient. [btw, in general, if you use the context figure base stuff mentioned on our site, figure inclusion is much faster anyway]. This means that page imposition [texexec etc] is very efficient now. This version of pdftex will go on texlive, and the windows version can be found at the fptex site. So, if you have problems: take the latest context, pdftex and it should work.
