Doubtful.

Hi,

Can you send me a link to the PDF off-list ? ftp or a private weblink is 
preferable. I would like to look at this file with Acrobat and Pit Stop Pro. 
You can also join me on IRC for some pointers. 

A few questions: 

Are they using an imposition application like preps or the PDF workflow tools 
from a Prinergy (no typo) system ?

Do you know which Acrobat version they are using and how they are laying up 
the pages ?

I am confident, however, its solvable.

Cheers,
Peter
