If you really want, I'll make this my last answer.

NO! You must use the Distiller PPD, not the default PostScript printer PPD.
You can generally find the Distiller PPD in the DISTILLR\XTRAS subdirectory
of Acrobat. Using the "default PPD" will result in improper TrueType font
embedding / rendering as well as the possibility of monochrome images in your
PDF file.
