In Acrobat Pro 7, try this to solve the RGB black type problem:

Create the file without any special conversion.
Go to the Tools>Print Production>Convert Colors menu.
Set the Action menu to Convert.
Set the Destination Space Profile to your color space (try SWOP Coated).
Select Preserve Black Objects (this should keep RGB black as 100% K).
Click OK.
