The difference is that the original document has CenturySchl-Bold embedded twice, but with different encodings: one is Roman and the other is Custom.  I suspect that pdflatex itself is 'cleaning up' the multiple embeddings incorrectly.  Here's a solution:

The issue arises when the included pdf contains a different version of the font from the one on the  local system but with the same name.  pdf(la)tex uses the local version, which is then missing the glyphs.  There is a solution within pdf(la)tex is to tell it not to replace included pdf fonts, so you can continue to use pdflatex if you include the following command in your preamble:
