I'm wondering if you've ever had a similar problem, I just finished a bunch of docs for a customer and they say that when they print from pdf to a PCL printer, the background of my images are gray when they should be white. This happened even when I imported by reference from a transparent gif file. They said what solved the problem was when they used a PostScript printer driver and selected the "Discolored background correction" option.

The goal is to fix the docs so this issue will never come up, but I have no idea what's causing the gray backgrounds. You can't see it on the screen, nor when you print to a color printer.

I am working in FrameMaker 7.0, printing to .ps files, then opening the .ps files with Distiller 5.0.

Help?
