That's extremely odd. Can you send a sample PDF file (along with the
source
code) for us to inspect it? I'm using Mac OS 10.5 on Intel, so I'd
like to
confirm the behaviour you report.

That really doesn't make sense at all. Sounds like a problem with
the Apple
code analyzing the PDF file, but I've never observed such a bizarre
behaviour
myself, and I use mostly Preview on the Mac to view PDFs.

Extremely odd, doesn't make any sense, bizarre ... that's pretty much
what I think.
The pdf that I took a picture of and the source that produced it are
in a zip file at this address:

If you're willing to have a look, that would be great.
You may not see what I do. I walked down the hall and had someone else
print this file earlier today. It looked fine using his copy of
Preview (though he said he has seen something like what I reported in
other cases). I'm mystified.
