Bug:  Inserted images and objects fail to draw on export or print
Article ID: 	30753
Bug Id: 	NIM003653
Software: 	 ArcGIS - ArcEditor 9.1, 9.2 ArcGIS - ArcInfo 9.1, 9.2
ArcGIS - ArcView 9.1, 9.2
Description
Images or inserted objects, as such JPEGs, BMPs, Excel spreadsheets,
etc., in an ArcMap Layout with a page size larger than the default
printer's default page size fail to draw or draw incorrectly on export.
Picture marker symbols or areas with a picture fill may also fail to
render properly on export.

 At 9.2 and later, certain Cartographic Representations that draw as an
inserted EMF can also be affected by this issue.

Cause
If the inserted object or image falls outside the default page size of
the Windows default printer, Windows GDI drawing calls used by ArcMap
may not properly draw the object or image on output.

Workaround
On some printers, selecting 'Use Printer Paper Settings' in the Page and
Print Setup dialog box alleviates the problem. See the link in the
Related Information section for more information on how to use 'Use
Printer Paper Settings'.

Alternatively, set the Windows default printer's default page size to a
page size as large or larger than the page layout that is being
exported. For example, if the map document is a tabloid size (17X22) set
the default printer's default page size to 17X22 or larger before
opening ArcMap.

   1. Start Windows Printers and Faxes dialog box by navigating to Start
> Control Panel > Printers and Faxes.
   2. Right-click on the default printer; it contains a check mark icon.
   3. Select Printing Preferences.
   4. On the Paper Sizes tab select a paper size larger than the paper
size of the desired layout. Click OK. The name and appearance of the
Printer Properties dialog box may vary according to printer/driver.
   5. Start ArcMap, open the map document and export or print again.

I have a related problem. When I export to PDF, my jpg logos don't PDF
