Bug: FM Shadings Not Converting to Acrobat 4.05a



Old Adobe bugs never die, they just shade away.

On Windows 98SE, using FM V5.5.6, I create swatches of the seven FM shading 
patterns made up of diagonal, horizontal, vertical, and cross-hatched 
lines. Then, I print to a .ps file, using Adobe Postscript Printer Driver 
4.3.1 and the Distiller 4.05a PPD, specifying a resolution of 2400. The 
Distiller job options are set up with no compression of graphics, text, or 
line art. In the resulting PDF, all of the shaded swatches are displayed 
and printed as pure white. In earlier versions of Acrobat, they all 
appeared as the same shade of dark gray. A recent post by Shlomo Perets 
indicates that the problem persists in FM 6.0.

This problem has been with us since FM 5.1 and Acrobat 2 if I'm not 
mistaken. Why hasn't it been fixed?
