carefully careful y

tall tal
really real y etc etc

It is a funny but irritation error but I havn't been able to find a solution to the problem.
I have just joined the Forum hoping to get a solution.

I havn't found any other errors in the conversion.
To fix this I print the original pdf using Pdf Creator (it acts as a printer driver) to create a new pdf. Then convert the newly created file. In all cases when I've done this it eliminates the above mentioned problem.
