It seems when I print a Pages document to PDF, I cannot add a background to the PDF in Adobe Acrobat. I noticed that there is an unresolved post about the exact same problem with iWork Pages 06 so it seems, this has never been addressed. Does anyone know how to fix this? I have a PDF of my letterhead that I use as a background and now I cannot.
Why not just put the letterhead as background in Pages? Then print that? Why go about this in such a round about manner?

If the original poster did not do the design in Apple Pages, but saved out PDF and tried to do the design in Adobe Acrobat, then possibly it is because the original poster has not been told that whereas PDF is a non-editable page description model, Microsoft Word .doc is an editable application model.

If they want to fiddle around in Acrobat to achieve this then they need to use Acrobat's Advanced Tools and select the background (white) object and either delete it, or move it to be behind any inserted watermark object.
ie The object order would be +White page object+ (back) / Watermark (middle) / Text (foreground).
