Combine files leaves line around inserted graphic

Question

I create documents in Word and insert my signature as graphic before converting to acrobat 9.  I have discovered that while that looks fine, when I combine that document with another document a vertical line appears to the right of my graphic of the signature (which to me mars the signed look).  I have a verisign id and can certify the adobe file  and include a graphic of my signature that way but I prefer to generally just include my signature from Word.  Any idea why I am getting the line after combining files (or more importantly, if it is easy to get rid of that line!)?  Thanks -- Scott

Answer 1

I inserted a graphic of my signature in Word - the graphic is in a .png
format.  It looks fine in Word and it looks fine when I convert it to a PDF.
The vertical line to the right of the graphic appears when I combine the PDF
of my report with a PDF of another page (a request for services) into one
PDF file (binder, not portfolio).  Thanks for your help, it baffles me and I
typically make a couple of files to send electronically per day! -- Scott
