Output - directly from ID to PDF. When I follow ps-distill route, no problems.

Thanks for looking at this one Andrew. If you're talking about the printers reg marks, it can't be that because none are being output to the PDF. No printers marks are being used at all. This has got to be something to do with flattening the drop shadow and blend modes which convert the page...
