Bitmaps being stretched when printing to PDF

[Anonymous]

I have a problem with bitmap images being stretched in the PDF file printed from ArchiCAD and PlotMaker.
For example, an image which should be scaled 12% gets scaled 11,916% in the horizontal direction and 12,251% in the vertical direction (as indicated in Adobe Illustrator).
Very annoying! What could be the problem?
I use ArchiCAD 9, Win XP and Adobe Acrobat PDFWriter 5.0.

Could you post an example?

Here is an example.
The red rectangle shows the original bounding box of the picture, which is rotated.
When I created this bounding box, two other problems occured: the image is now reflected (mirrored) around the horizontal axis, and a black rectangle is superimposed!

Christoffer,
What version of ArchiCAD are you using?

I have now done some more investigations printing PDF files from PlotMaker with Acrobat Distiller, Acrobat PDFWriter and Amyuni PDF Converter. I have used transparent and non-transparent bitmaps, viewing the PDF's in Acrobat and Ilustrator.
The only satisfying PDF's turned out to be those created with Distiller and Amyuni, with non-transparent bitmaps.
