Unwanted lines when converting Publisher to PDF

I'm trying to convert a 63 page book that looks and prints fine in publisher to a PDF file using Adobe Acrobat Standard. I get lines apprearing in the PDF file around and through the graphics in the booklet. I've tried every adjustment in Acrobat i can think of. Has anyone had this situation before? I think the graphics are either all or mostly bim map (there are lots). Sometimes the lines just outline the graphics and sometimes they go through the graphics dividing it in quarters.

Any help is sincerely appreciated.

Thanks,
Tomas :)
 
I find this occurs when you use the Acrobat PDF print driver. It happens even with the print perameters set to a high resolution. The only way I avoid it is to use a postscript driver to create a .prn file and then use Acrobat Distiller to create the PDF.
 
Thanks writer1. It was a good suggestion but no luck. I created files using two different generic postscript print drivers and distilled them with the same results.

I tried changing one of the problem graphics to a JPEG with no improvement.

Is it possible a different print driver might help? It's really strange that some of the graphics are fine and other are not. They are all created in the same way.

I've tried "print to file" as well as printing without the box checked.
