How did you put the dots there?
Are they really dots --- a filled circle, say
or are they a font-character 
  --- e.g. a 'bullet': Option-8 on a Mac keyboard,
           for a Mac-encoded font.

I can certainly understand a PC not being able to render the bullet;
but if it's a filled circle, then there shouldn't be a problem.

Hmm; sounds like you've used a font character, and it's a font problem.
Please confirm.
Better still, provide a URL so the PDF can be downloaded.

Hope this helps,
