What has changed in the pdfs recently? I have the same problem with the Shortcuts edition on PyParsing which I bought today, but don't have the problem with the pdf of the Ruby Cookbook, which I bought around the time of its release in mid-2006, nor any of the other pdfs I have bought from O'Reilly (Rails Cookbook, Designing Web Navigation, etc...).

    Based on reader complaints, we've gone back to the font foundry and gotten an OTF version of the problematic constant-width fonts. A new PDF that resolves the Preview-rendering issues has been released and all customers that had previously purchased this PDF should have been notified via email.
