Not an answer to Jessica's problem, exactly, but I'm seeing something similar with graphics, also never seen before.

I have a book that contains a lot of FrameMaker graphics. Without exception, everything within the illustrations *except* the text does not show up on screen, is not selectable, and does not show up on PDF. The author's original PDF, done from PC FrameMaker, shows the graphical objects as expected.

I've messed with color views to make sure everything's visible, but without success so far.

Is there anything that I've overlooked that can make FrameMaker graphical objects invisible and non-selectable? It's as if all the components of an illustration except the text simply aren't there.

Mac FrameMaker 7.0, Acrobat 6 Pro
