The first thing you should do is use the output preview feature of Acrobat 7 Professional (using the appropriate output simulation profile) and see whether the text in question shows up only on the black plate or on all four plates. If text only shows up on the black plate and you are providing the PDF file direclty to your printer, you need to have a conversation with your printer. If your PDF file is color managed (i.e., has ICC color profile tagging of its contents), it is possible that your printer is using a different profile and that the "rich black" (black type showing up on more than just the black plate) is being caused by a CMYK to C'M'Y'K' translation. If you do see text on more than one plate using the output preview feature, then either you are improperly creating the PDF file or your PDF file is color managed for a different CMYK colorspace than the colorspace you are previewing for. - Dov
