Problem with .pdf printing masked images in Publisher 2003

[Shifty Geezer]

I managed to print images fine with Publisher 2000 using Broadgun pdfMachine.
As 2000 didn't support masking effectively (alpha channeled .pngs) I've just
installed Publisher XP. Now when I print masked .gifs or .pngs, they are
extremely low resolution, regardless of pdf printer settings. .bmps print at
the selected resolution. I've also just tried CutePDF and it has exactly the
same problem, which points to Publisher being bugged, no?

I have no problems... but then I am using Adobe Acrobat. Not sure if that makes
a difference.

I've solved the issue ny installing SP3. Should have checked the service
packs first, rather than just use the software as on disc!
