Distiller shifting...

Any help ASAP is much appreciated...
I'm making a final file of an ad that is roughly 8x10, but when run through Distiller at the receiver's PDF-X settings, it shifts the image to the bottom left, even though I've set the file up on an 11x17 document size, smack in the middle of the page.
Any way to resolve this? Turns out it did the same thing with another ad, which I was able to resolve just by re-Distilling the file, but that doesn't seem to be working now.
Any thoughts?

Oh, by the way I'm using Illy CS to create the file, and saving the file as an outlined/expanded eps before running it through Distiller...

why not pdf straight from the layout prgram? or are you using quark?

sorry, save straight from illy to pdf-x or import the ai into indesign and pdf from there. distiller's pretty become pretty redundant nowadays.

add a white background to your illustrator document...then slap it in distiller!

I don't think I've ever gone from Illy to a PDF-X at the receiver's ad specs...how do I do this?
That would probably work...

Good idea! I'll give it a shot.

the pulldown at the top of the dialog where you save as pdf has the pdf-x setting.

you should also enter your bleed values while saving the PDF outta AI.
