Missing images copied from PDF

I'm having a strange problem cutting and pasting graphics from PDF
files into PPT. I checked the PPT FAQ and followed the proper
procedure of selecting the graphic, copying and then pasting into PPT.
I did this with 3 different PDF files and all three graphics showed
up fine on my machine. However, on a different machine, only 1 of 3
graphics showed up. This occured both when the file was emailed, as
well as burning on to a CD.

It doesn't seem like a broken link problem, since I didn't tell it to
link to anything, none of the 3 source files were included, and one of
the graphics worked just fine.

I'm using XP, and PPT 2002 (10.4205.4219) SP-2. Not sure about the
versions on the other offending machines, as the presentations are for
my boss, and I have not been at the talks.

Thanks,
Kelly

Kelly, can you try to find out more about the machines where the graphics
don't appear?
Which version of Windows and PPT?

Is there any pattern to which ones show and which don't? Is it the larger
ones that disappear each time? Do the same ones disappear each time, in
fact, or does it vary from run to run?

Can you try the same presentation on other computers? Does the problem seem
confined to specific computers your boss was unlucky enough to get saddled
with, or is it more like "everybody but me"?
