Sean,
I took a look at the sample file that you sent separately and if you run "save as optimized PDF", including all of the clean up setting options, the selection issues go away. The issue seems to be that the PDF document originally created from Powerpoint (using Mac OSX Quartz PDFContext as the producer) was malformed.

The PDF optimizer is pretty good at correcting these issues, and I'd encourage you to try it if you haven't...

Thanks,
AWK
