A co-worker of mine has been working with Pagemaker doing our Newsletter. This is a very graphics and text heavy item. On one of the pages there is a black box that is located near the right bottom corner that cannot be seen in the Pagemaker version but when I export it to PDF it is there. He has tried everything to get rid of it including copying the info, deleting the pages, and then re-pasting it in. It is really bizarre. Any ideas?
 
I'm assuming your colleague is using PM7, Distiller 5 on Windows.

Check out this FAQ in the PM Forums of AdobeForums:
1.8 - Mysterious black streaks appear in PDF

Use of Windows Metafiles (*.WMF, *.EMF) can also cause problems. More advice in th AdobeForums FAQs.

Perfect..that did the trick. I just had to change a setting in my PDF printer driver to outline and it got rid of it. Thanks for your help!
 
Great news. Glad to have helped.
