Thanks JL. Saving as 4 did the trick. Anything I'm going to be losing with this approach?

Looks like the graphic is a radial gradient/transparency which does not always convert so easily. You could also try saving the original PDF as version 1.3 (Acrobat 4.0) this will automatically flatten problematic transparencies in some cases.

Then I went further and found that if I deleted a specific object (see attached) using Acrobat's Tools|Advanced Editing|TouchUp Object Tool this page would now convert in PDF2SWF without a problem. Is there any setting, flag, etc. that I could try to fix this? If not are there any recommendations I could pass to the designer to ask that they avoid certain types of objects that can cause this problem? -- JL
