Mastering OS9 PDF file is corrupt. Must have happened during PDF generation. 
When I open the PM4 files with Pagemaker 7 I see the corruption there. Not 
certain that the conversion from Pagemaker 4 to Pagemaker 7 is creating it or 
what. I will have a look and see if it can be corrected and then the PDFs 
regenerated.
