    We have one installation of 2006 either sp0 or sp2 that creates blank
    pdf files. We go through the standard file save as pdf and it produces
    a file but when you view it it has no graphics. Anyone have any ideas
    on this?

    Are you able to save-as TIF or JPG correctly?

    If you have a licensed copy of acrobat, try using print to .pdf. It
    uses less system resources, and does not make changes to the file like
    "save as" does. You will find this faster than using the .pdf add-in,
    which I've found really hack. You will also have more control over
    options for creating a .pdf.

    You dont need the full version of Acrobat to do this. There are many
    free pdf creators including PDF Machine. Not sure how fast one is to
    the other.
