Quick and dirty and totally capricious - delete the offending graphic and re-import it. Re-print to PS and distill. It doesn't make any sense, but I've had this happen and I've seen others on the list deal with it the same way.
Have they tried saving as PDF from Frame 7 and see if it barfs as well? Don't know that it would make any difference, but at least it's a tad quicker to see if it will process correctly.

A friend of mine is having trouble with the Adobe Distiller (see appended

Thanks,
Lindsey

For hours and hours now, I've been trying to convert a FrameMaker 7.0 file
to PDF. When Acrobat Distiller (double clicking on the .ps file to launch
the distillation process) encounters an image, it flushes the entire
process. I've changed compression settings, output settings, and even some
of the Advanced Job Option settings. I tried printing the entire book, then
just a file. Nothing works. Distiller flushes every attempt.
Have you come across this? Do you have a possible solution? I need to think
of something fast before they make me start using Word.
