When I export my document to PDF, everything is fine, except that all but one of the images are in greyscale and two of them have the right hand sides of them cropped off. I've been searching the forums and googling like crazy but I can't for the life of me work out why this is happening. If anyone could help, I'd be eternally grateful :) Thanks...
 
Stad,
Are you bringing the images into PM as JPG's or GIF's and using the Paste command to do so? This could be the issue. It's been our experience that PM7 readily accepts TIF's and EPS files Placed into the doc rather than Pasted. If you find this to be true in your doc, use Photoshop or a similar image editor to convert your images to TIF's or EPS and use the Files>Place command to re-place the images. Then distill and make your PDF's. Report back your results.

Knock and the door shall be opened unto you. Seek and ye shall find! [peace]

I love Mondays cause they're the Second day of the week!
 
Hi, stadius,

I'll second horqua advice.

Are you using WMF files? They frequently do exactly what you describe when creating PDFs.
