Don, Michael,
Here is a simple document that produces the problem.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[
web=designiv,
exerquiz
]{aeb_pro}
\begin{document}
Hello.
\end{document}
I am using Donald Story's acrotex and acrotex pro packages:
acrotex_pack.zip
aebpro_pack.zip
When I latex and dvips, then drop the ps file on Distiller, I get this error:
