It helps to use software with a better PDF export capability. Most problems
are generally solved by using the right tools for the job. Most other
problems are solved by knowing how to set up a file correctly before you
even export to begin with. Once these are taken care of, knowing what
you're doing in Acrobat takes care of the rest.

So to answer your unhelpful question: Not much if you do it right the first
time and know what you're doing.
