Actually, I'm not sure what driver was used before; it may
very well have been the old Microsoft driver...
When I compare "old" and "new" PDFs, the new ones have a
larger file size (some 10-15% for text only), but the
old ones are not searchable for text in TrueType fonts.

The font information also differs. TrueType fonts have
their "real" names in the old files, but are named "TT..."
in the new files.

On-screen appearance and print-outs are of identical
quality, for both Type 1 and TrueType fonts. I can see no
degraded quality due to the "Outline" download option.

I'm just reporting my experiences. It was, unfortunately,
a big hassle getting correct PDFs after switching to the
new AdobePS 5.1.2 driver, but since this is what Adobe
recommends, I'll keep using it (with the "Outline" option).
