** Conference Paper **
Before submitting the final camera ready copy, remember to:

 1. Manually equalize the lengths of two columns on the last page
 of your paper;

 2. Ensure that any PostScript and/or PDF output post-processing
 uses only Type 1 fonts and that every step in the generation
 process uses the appropriate paper size.

I had the same problem. I installed Miktex using my admin account and it worked fine. Then, I tried pdflatex in another user account and it gave the same errors. I found the answer here: http://comp.text.tex.narkive.com/EHoYEqh7/pdflatex-can-t-find-font

The summary of the solution is running this command in the same user environment: initexmf --mkmaps. It might take some time but it works for me.
