Joel,

 

Have you kept the original .ai document, and can you recreate from that?

Joel,

 

Beyond the current issue, it is safer to always work in and thereby keep the latest artwork (a)live in the AI version, and only save a copy as PDF when you are done.

So those should be placed images?

Exactly how did you save the file? Which options?

Where did you save the file?

Where are the linked images located?

Which version of Illustrator on which system is this?
