PDFs from Pages - Won't allow backgrounds to be added in Acrobat

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.

Mac Pro Dual Quad Core 2.8, Mac OS X (10.5.6), ???

I get just one layer with one group

If porous memory serves, layers are not supported in PDF 1.3. If there were layers in the authoring application, then they would have to be merged down leaving the stacking order of the objects and the per-object transparency setting in the stack.
