FM makes nice PDF graphic look bad. Why?

We are having a tough time with graphics that were created in Interleaf.  I make a PDF of the Interleaf document and it looks/prints excellent, just like the original in Interleaf.  But, when I import it into FM and print, it looks quite bad.  If I open the same PDF in Illustrator and save it as a PDF from there, then import into FM, it prints fine.  Same thing if I save the same PDF as an AI file and import to FM.  It prints fine.  Do I really need to resave all my PDFs in AI or is there a better way?  It seems like FM should be able to handle the original PDF as well as AI, but it doesn't.  Maybe I am missing something...

Any thoughts?  Thx!!

Can you post an example of a pdf file that is giving you problems? If you need a place to post the file, acrobat.com will work.

Link is below.  Thank you.  Upon further review I see that the schematic is being coverted into a million pieces when it is exported from Interleaf.  I think that is the problem.  Let me know what you think...

If still have, or can re-create the schematic PDF, why not just re-import it by reference into your FM document and avoid the InterLeaf export problem?

That seems to be the best solution.

I am new to FM so a little slow right now... 
Thanks for your help!
