Exactly..  I been stuffering around alot in acrobat...  

If you have a file with lots of eps gfx's in it then nuffin will convert that
file properly apart from distiller. 
 
There is a catch thou. NOT all ps will convert properly. 
 
Eg.
 
If you have alot of eps in the ps file you have to go back to the orginal
program and print out of it using the distiller PS printer driver, print by
saving to a file then taking that ps file into distiler and convert it.
 
You can't print directly using teh pdf driving when using gfx in the orginal 
source!!!
 
Comes out blockly and crap!!!  
 
MOST ps's that have been badly done won't convert in my experience it's a touch
and go thing!!!
