I believe Foxit "suffers a lot" because of http://hub.qgis.org/issues/5150.
I'm not sure whether the pdf is truly corrupt or Acrobat just isn't as long-suffering as Foxit, but I have a feeling Acrobat wouldn't have a problem with the pdfs if #5150 was fixed.  The same error used to occur with PDFs produced from the composer, and it seemed like that problem went away about the same time as http://hub.qgis.org/issues/3250 was fixed...
