Postscript is adding white boxes over images

Question

When creating an inbooklet file I generally follow the process of, print booklet into a postscript and then distill through acrobat to get a PDF. Lately however somewhere in the process white boxes are being added overtop of PSD images. Printing an inbooklet straight from InDesign doesn't add the boxes so from what I can tell it's something happening during distilling.

The boxes are not behind the images and it is not the white box effect or the yucky discolored syndrome issues that I have seen posted previously.

I can manually go into acrobat edit and delete the white boxes which are just covering the images, though is there anyway to fix this issue rather than re-saving all images as jpgs?

Any advice is appreciated!

Export a PDF and print that from Acrobat using Acrobat’s booklet feature. I sense what you’re seeing is flattening over a spot color. Turn on overprint preview in Acrobat to check.

Can you provide screen captures so we can understand what's happening? Post them here with the Insert Image button in the forum editor.
