[Framers] Overprint Not Working in FrameMaker 10 and Acrobat Pro 2017

[Mike Wickham]

Well, hmmf. Mine says "Page has Overprint: No," and knocks out 
everything below it. I even tried using a drawn rectangle on the body 
page, as you did, instead of a background graphic. Same result. I also 
tried setting the color definition of regular black to overprint. Same 
result. So there must be a bug in my FM10 or Acrobat 2017. I wonder if I 
have a plugin that conflicts and causes the failure.
