I guess I was too terse in my previous response. You have Job Options
set to produce a PDFA-compliant PDF, suitable for archiving. Change it
to a non-standards-based setting that meets your needs, like Standard,
Smallest File Size, or Press Quality (these are available in Acro 7; the
names may be different in other versions). 

Or create your own Job Options settings file. To learn about the
settings, see "Adobe PDF Settings" in the online help, especially "Using
default Adobe PDF settings files" and "Creating custom Adobe PDF
settings." 

See also "Standards Options" for more info about the PDFA standard, and
why Acrobat might either complain or refuse to create a PDF that doesn't
meet the standard.

Don't do that; it sounds like Acrobat is running just fine. You just
need some driving lessons. ;-)
