table text looks funny in the PDF

I have a large table that runs for several pages in Frame. A couple of the columns have Custom Cell Shading applied so the text is black on yellow. When I make a PDF, I end up with black text in a white box on the yellow. What causes the white box that outlines all the text in the yellow cells? Plus, it happens only on the first page of the table. 

As a test, I created a PDF of the single Frame file (as opposed to the Frame book, which is my usual routine) and the white boxes persisted. In the Frame file, I selected all, cut and pasted the content back in. Created a PDF and ...no white boxes. It was a nice surprise, but I am unable to do it again. 

In Frame, the white boxes do not appear. When printing from Acrobat, the white boxes do appear. 

I'm using Frame 6 and Acrobat 5.05 on WinNT4. To create a PDF, I print to the Acrobat Distiller printer (AdobePS5.2 + Adist5.ppd) and distill the resulting postscript file. 

Suggestions welcome.
