Using Word 2007, I've created a cover for my book using background color and 
many images.  The printing shop wants a PDF file, but when I save-as PDF, the 
resulting PDF file has the images and text, but the background color is 
shifted down a couple of inches and to the right several inches, leaving part 
of my cover backgound as white.  The page size is 17x11, "print background 
colors and images" is checked in Word Options.

I am unable to reproduce this problem. How have you applied the background 
colour?

Page Layout > Page Background > Page Color

That's the method I used. I still cannot reproduce the problem. If you want 
to send me the particular cover page to examine, you can use the link on the 
home page of my web site.
