Scott,

I ended up printing the main document (tabloid size) from Acrobat on a 
windows computer at Kinkos. I then printed out the parts that needed 
screening on my laser printer using ghostscript. Finally, I physically 
pasted the screened image onto the main document. That's the only way I 
could figure out how to do it short of buying a tabloid size laser 
printer. 

I would have loved to have done the whole thing in one step but the 
computer at Kinkos does not have ghostscript on it. 
I guess I could have tried importing the pdf into Corel Draw but didn't 
have much faith in Corel's pdf filter. Has it improved any?
