In my first post I did mention that I view your file in Acro reader and it looks exactly like both PNG files I showed above. Now I don't have the luxury of having CS4/5 but do have CS3 and when I opened the file yesterday they had no mask in place and were in fact they were even grouped.
Should tell you I worked for a health board in Scotland and I am in and out of both Illy & D pro 6 daily and use Acro Pro for proofing and do not have any problems with the software. There is a known bug in Acrobat at high levels of zoom but this is not your problem yours were clipping of lettering in each of the 2 designs. This maybe the fault of Xara's export filter as it looks like you used an envelope to distort your text but I tried that and couldn't replicate your effect. So I have tried everything that you have asked but I can't get the same as you but I don't think it is a bug in Adobe's reader 10.
Design is thinking made visual.
This should be some kind of bug, because Adobe Reader X in MacOs X and Windows
produced the same wrong clipped letters as in the png image that I posted.
I have been reported that Illlustrator Cs5, on Mac and PC produced the same
wrong results.
Illustrator Cs4, Foxit Reader, Nitro PDF, Preview (for MacOs X) and probably many
others programs do not add this extra clipping path to the letters...

Hi Albacore,
I have collected several screenshots of PDF readers.
Please download them and check by yourself that only
Adobe Reader X is not drawing correctly the file.
I have been told that Illustrator Cs5 produces the
same error as Adobe Reader X.
Do a search on the problem and see if there are any solutions given. The Adobe forums are the best place to look and they have a good quality search engine in there forum.

Yes, I will visit Adobe forum.
Hopefully, there should be a solution,
besides asking printers to use older
versions of Adobe software.
Albacore, many thanks for following up
this thread.
