The RIP can accept a PDF file, which then im assuming converts it to postscript before output.
If you open a PDF in Acrobat with distiller set up as a printer device you can print a PDF to another PDF file. Using this process the new PDF file will pass through the RIP with no problems.

Hmmm. We're missing something here. When you say that your printer distilled the file in Acrobat, where did the printer get the PostScript code to do that job? Distiller is itself a PostScript device, so it should choke on the file the same way that the RIP does. If both PostScript devices (Distiller & your RIP) are using the same input, then the RIP PostScript implementation is suspect. If they are using different input, then we need to know more about the tools that are being used to convert the PDF to PostScript.
