Great! Thanks for the responses!
Now for what I should have asked in the first place - does anyone know 
how to fix this, please?

To cover the Acrobat critique - I personally have pdfs set to open in 
Preview by default, and have no problems with Preview for that. But I 
have Adobe's Creative Suite, and I find that I use Acrobat when I want 
to print a letter with a colour "headed paper" - I print to PDF in 
Word, open in Acrobat, and add the pdf of the headed paper as a 
"watermark" before printing it. I seem to recall that when I originally 
set up this workflow I couldn't get the headed paper's image into the 
Word document itself at a high enough quality for me to be happy with 
it.
