    I was wondering if anyone can help me out. I'm experiencing a really strange bug (i think?).

    When I export my document for press as a PDF, some of the master page items on the last spread are missing. They are present in my ID doc and they print just fine. I even created new spreads, thinking that those particular spreads were corrupt somehow but I'm still getting the same result. All the spreads are using the same Master and other are fine so I can't figure out what might be the issue. Anyone have an idea? I hope I'm just over looking something silly. Thank you!!!

    Version? What OS? File > export or using Distiller?

    What have you tried so far? Try different PDF Presets, for example.

    I'm presently on Mac OSX (10.6.6) and I'm exporting to PDF out of InDesign.

    I've tried a few test with different settings and it seems to happen when I have “use document bleed” checked on. If I have it check off then those particular spreads are fine. I'm not sure why having that checked On is causing those spreads to export in such a manner. Is this a bug?

    Thanks!

    UPDATE:

    So here are my findings. I finally got it work using the PDF/X-1a:2001 – Acrobat 4. I was previously using no standard with Acrobat 5 compatibility and that seemed to be giving all sorts of problems.

    Is Acrobat compatibility 5-9 a chronic issue for most people? Putting aside printer requirements, you would think that 5-9 would be the best choice for the best output. I'm referring to file structure oppose to print quality when speaking of output.

    The bottom portion of my master page did contain two color boxes on top of each other, with the top box containing a feather gradient. I wish I could blame it all on that but the fact that it didn't give me issue on a previous spread is perplexing.

    In any case, I generated a successful PDF with Marks & Bleeds. Today Was A Good Day.
