Here is a possible simple fix to the problem. The answer is in the import menu in PageMaker. When you place a PDF image into a PageMaker document, a pop up menu should come up with several options on it such as whether you want the whole page imported or just the content area, etc. The key option to look at is the one that says "Color Depth". If you select the 256 option, you get a very ugly looking rendition of your PDF on screen. If you opt for "millions" a very nice representation of the image comes up. It may not be the solution, but it's worth a try. You might also check the PageMaker document preferences to assure that under the General Preferences section has the graphics display option set on high and then clicking on the "more" button and adjusting your graphics options to the "size" radio button, and typing in 1020 Kbytes and alert when storing graphics over 2048 Kbytes. I'd be interested in knowing if either of these possible solutions helped.

I admit to not really knowing the answer to your question but it is similar to one a coworker asked of me except that they thought that the PDF looked poor on screen but printed just as cleanly as the original Word document. How well does the included PDF print?
