Aaron's offered to look at the file but there is one general
rule to apply when this happens:  open your file in Acrobat,
export to postscript , and then run through Distiller.  Then
try again with the new PDF file.  Adobe have put more effort
than us into cleaning up dodgy PDF files, and what comes out
of Distiller always seems to work with PageCatcher.

You may not need Adobe tools on your server, but they're very
handy to have around if you are working seriously with PDF :-)

Thanks,
