Typesetting music for Reader, pdf problems

I've been attempting to adapt pdf files containing music for the reader but am having some trouble. The files look fine in Adobe Acrobat, but in the connect software preview mode and on the reader the staves and vertical lines of the notes display but the heads and treble clefs do not.

I've put a single page example up here.

I'm generating the pdf as such:
  1. music source in abc files, use abc2mtex to generate MusiXTeX files.
  2. convert to dvi using tex.
  3. convert to postscript with: dvips -j0 -Ppdf -Pdownload35 -G0 -D 1200 -Z -mode ljfzzz -o music.ps music.dvi
  4. convert to pdf with: ps2pdf -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dSubsetFonts=false -dEmbedAllFonts=true music.ps music.pdf

I've tried using pdflrf which converts the pages to images and embeds them in a lrf file. This works, but I'd rather stick with just pdf if I can get it working so I can add hyperlinks and stuff.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.
