    We have had that problem ever since Acrobat/Disiller 7... so we gave up and kept using Distiller 6 (but Acrobat 7)... until changing over to the latest OS 10.4.7 and Suitcase Fusion and Distiller 7, in preparation for Quark 7 arriving this week. We are having tons of trouble with Distiller now (a conflict with Suitcase Fusion, it would seem, based on other posts in these forums), and have given up on Distiller 6... so yes, we have that problem, too. And no solution, but just wanted to sign on with the same issue here.

    Steven, this sounds to me like you are using the combination of Quark's export to PDF with the option for latter distilling chosen and having "Allow Postscript file to override Adobe PDF Setting" enabled in the advanced settings of your joboptions this is a known issue either take this off in Acrobat and resave all your joboptions or print to .ps file through the Adobe PDF PPD. If you have Quarks OPI XT and don't make use of it, it's well worth turning this off too in the XT's manager.
