Donna, Since I'm the author of a commercial software package "Grafikhuset Publi PDF" I've been reluctant to answer this question. So, please judge my answer since some may say it's biased.
Anyway, you'll definitely need Publi PDF. You should study the following links: http://www.grafikhuset.net/publipdf/whitepaper_difficult_pdf_documents.html http://www.grafikhuset.net/publipdf/tech_components_optimizer_plugin.html http://www.grafikhuset.net/publipdf/download.htm Test it. It works and CAN solve your problem.
