Problem converting Pages document to a PDF
When I save a Pages document to a PDF, my bullet points either disappear or show up as exclamation points in the PDF. Help me please... on a deadline.

Which font are you using?
HAve you restarted your computer lately? Done any maintenance lately?
I've tried using many different fonts. Originally I was using Abadi MT Condensed. I switched to plain old Arial and still have the problem. No maintenance lately... just the standard SW updates when they are available. Restarted recently.
Is it in just specific document or in several? If it just in this document it sometimes help to copy the the content and paste into a new blank one.
Quit Pages > delete the com.apple.iwork.pages.plist from Users / your name / Library / Preferences folder
Sometimes it can help to start the computer in safe mode by holding down the Shift key from when you hear the starting chime until you see a bar appearing on the screen. Be patient. then restart in normal mode again.
The second thing worked! Thank you, thank you!! What was that that I deleted? How did it fix the problem?
It is a preference file that helps Pages remember your settings in Pages. Sometimes it gets corrupt and weird behaviour starts which can seem unrelated. By deleting the file Pages creates a new fresh preference file.
