[Tools] Images shaded in Acrobat

I've had this experience in the past, and the fix was to
turn off one of the compression settings because
compression on document files that contained already
compressed images such as jpgs caused Distiller to
mistake the compression artifacts in the images for
greyscale screens.  I'll need to go through some of
my old notes, because I don't remember which one.
However, if all your images are compressed before
you put them into the document, compression in the
PDF process doesn't reduce file size very much and
you can probably just turn them all off.
