Unwanted lines when converting Publisher 2003 file to PDF

[Tomas Michaud]

I'm trying to convert a B & W 63 page book that looks and prints fine in
publisher to a PDF file for commercial printing using Adobe Acrobat Standard
6 (distiller). 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? The graphics were BMP (there are
lots).

I did convert all the graphics to TIFF. I tested it by changing one graphic
first and it worked. I thought that would do it but when now about 70% of the
graphics have the lines and the other 30% do not. I can't see any difference
between the ones that have the lines and the ones that don't. They are all
TIFF and have similar properties.

I generally have been converting the file to a Postscript file using the
Generic Color PS for Commercial Printing print driver and then distilling it
with Acrobat 6 Distiller.

I've tried turning off the compression on the distiller with no change.

I tried choosing Acrobat as the Postscript printer also. When I open it in
Acrobat the lines are there again.

Any help is sincerely appreciated.

Tomas
