You are either using "Save As PDF" (which doesn't work reliably in FM6)
or you're not printing to PS/PDF using the Acrobat Distiller printer.

If you have Acrobat correctly installed, you have a printer called
Acrobat Distiller. Use that printer in the Print dialog to create a
PostScript file, and then run that file through the Distiller application.

This is the best way to produce PDFs in the way you want them, but not
necessarily the easiest or quickest way. But it's just a few extra
clicks to get it right.

BTW, this is *the* most frequently asked question about PDFs.
There's a FAQ on the forum webpage, check it out.
