Imported graphics partially obscurred by black rectangles in PDF

When I PDF a document with a lot of imported graphics, alot of the graphics are partially obscurred by black rectangles. I'm using the Adobe PDF print driver. Many of the graphics are BMPs (I inherited the files, I know it's a dumb format to use).

I've tried reimporting the graphics but still no luck.

I'm using structured Frame + SGML 6.0.

Any ideas?

    Which specific version of FM 6.0, as shown in Help > About. Then double-check the Adobe Updates section to determine whether you have the most recent update.

    What specific O/S, including service pack level?

    What version of Acrobat are you using?

    Distiller 7.0

    FrameMaker+SGML 6.0p357

    Windows XP Pro SP 2

    Acrobat 7

    (Don't know about the updates)

    It's running in emulation mode on a UNX box, so perhaps that makes a difference, but I think it has something to do with the graphics, since they don't always show the black box.

    You definitely need to check specific versions on Acrobat 7, as there were several significant updates to it.

    I do recall a "black box over graphics" issue; whether it was involving bmp I don't recall. I'm sure somebody here might be able to dig the info out of their memory <looking around hopefully>
