Exporting to PDF in map book, labels output as different color than in layout.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. export a group of pages to PDF with lines labeling in black text
2. export a separate group of pages with same map
3. the labels may appear red in one set and blue in another.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect to see black output.  I see different colors

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Upgraded to arcGIS 9.3.1 recently

Please provide any additional information below.

I searched ESRI's support website and this behavior was described back in 
2007.    http://support.esri.com/index.cfm?fa=listserve.messageShow&m=50044

Thank you for the bug report kkoleda.

Is the problem PDF specific? Export a group of pages to a different format and 
see if
the problem persists. 

If pdf specific a workaround is to print to a virtual pdf printer (e.g. 
pdfcreator,
primo pdf both of which are free). This has solved many arcmap2pdf problems for 
me in
the past with font and fill drop outs and inappropriate font subsitution (which 
were
unrelated to mapbook).

If not pdf specific, and your project small and shareable, we could try 
reproduce it
on my machine: Upload the .mxd and minimum data needed to demonstrate the 
problem to

Have the same error as described above.  Tried "printing" to 2 separate PDF 
writers
(1 via Adobe suite, 1 via PDFCreator) -- Both returned printing errors (half 
pages,
error messages, etc) and did not "workaround" the text color problem.  ESRI 
will not
help since MB is non-standard (although, the File->Export Map... does work 
correctly,
but defeats the purpose of MB to automate some 200 maps in one MXD)

Do the same errors occur with the same text in the same places? (e.g. on Map#3 
in the
lower left Fobbar River is always red). If you export/print in smaller batches 
(e.g.
20 maps at a time instead of all 200) does it still happen? Do the problems 
occur if
the maps are printed to a real printer? What about when printing to pdfcreator 
and
the autosave output is set to an image format instead of pdf?

In the past I've had partial page output to real printers (hp designjet) when 
I've
not had enough memory or disk space. Open the print queue and watch the print 
job
spool, and make sure there is at least 3 times as much free space as the print 
job.
