I was not able to reproduce the "Red X" problem with one of my clients who
recently stumbled upon it but I did not find any solution in the link at
"rdpslides.com". My client did mention, however, that he had been
compressing the images in his presentation. When I unchecked compression,
the image appeared again. Although I could not reproduce the Red X by using
compression, deselecting compression options and hitting "Apply" did restore
the image. Interestingly, I get a Red X when I print a completely different
PPT to PDF. Most images will print but some of the clip art is replaced
with the Red X. I created a separate PowerPoint file with compression and
printed to PDF but got the same results, regardless of PDF options (Acrobat
PDF Writer, v. 5.0). If I print to PDF in Grayscale, I get all images, no
X's.
