Hi Doug,

What version of Acrobat are you using?  Also, do you get any error
messages, or do the files just not rip?

The first thing that comes to mind, from my experience, is font
issues.  Are the fonts embedded, or does the rip server have all the
necessary fonts?

Lastly, there is a set of preflight tools that Acrobat 7 and 8 have,
which will allow you to find issues with pdfs.  I am not sure if
Acrobat 6 or 5 have such options.
