PowerPoint 2007: Notes View + grayscale = blank PDF

[Bruce Kimball]

Hi, Using PowerPoint 2007, whenever I try to create a PDF using Notes View
and in grayscale, the results are all blank pages. A PDF is created, but
every page is blank. I've tried this with several different types of
presentations, and asked our MIS department to try it also. All have the same
result. I can't use the PDF plug in because it doesn't allow a grayscale
selection. All of these files convert fine using PowerPoint 2003.

It's Windows XP. I'm not using the MS plug-in because it doesn't give
grayscale as an option. I'm using Distiller 8. I've varied the ppt from a
single slide to 100, from simple to complex. I've tried using 3 or 4
different types of postscript printers, including the PDF printer. Several
other people here have tried with the same results. All work in 2003 and
2000, none in 2007. The problem only occurs when I am using Notes View in
grayscale, which is a necessity for my job. I can do PDFs of slides in
grayscale, and Notes View in color. Am I alone with this problem?

Thanks

Are you choosing grayscale in the PPT print dialog or in the Acrobat
Distiller properties?
