Illustrator creates a transparent PDF - but I don't want it to ...

I am running CS4 on Mac. When I save an Illustrator file to a PDF and then place the file in a Powerpoint presentation the image background is transparent (it does not appear to be transparent in Illustrator). If I save the same file as a PNG file, it is transparent, but I can turn it off the transparency before I complete the save.
I assume I have changed some preference along the way or ticked a setting that I did not mean to.
Any thoughts on how to create a PDF from Illustrator that is NOT transparent?
Thanks for any comments.

PDF transparency is defined by the PDF language level. If it's not critical, you can always go back to an older version that does not support this at the cost of possibly losing some otehr features. Otherwise do what Monika said and simply add a fill rectangle...
