It actually might be the PDF viewer I am using, Barbara. When I open it on Adobe Acrobat Pro DC (which is the most updated version), the blue rectangles become transparent. When I open it on BluBeam or in Google Chrome, the blue rectangles are perfectly normal... I'm not sure why this is happening because this has never happened before until a week ago.

I just did everything that you suggested, Barbara. I updated InDesign to the current version. I put the rectangle on my document page. I also disabled facing pages. Yet, the blue rectangle is still transparent when I export it to a PDF...

What would your advice be if I am having the same problem with one-page spreads, Barbara? The blue rectangle isn't spanning across multiple pages. InDesign Document Exported PDF

I definitely understand and I greatly appreciate you letting me know, Jane! Also, I took your advice about copying and pasting one of my blue rectangles to a separate document. The exported PDF is completely white.

This worked! Thank you very much, Barbara! That was a huge help! As a clarification, when you say that I have 2 master pages, is it because I had one rectangle for the background of three separate pages? Also, what if I've faced this issue with one-page spreads?

Hi Jane, Thank you for letting me know the proper ways to redact information on a document. I will make sure to remember this moving forward. I do want to clarify that I the redaction does not affect the export issues that I am currently dealing with on InDesign as I try to export my document to a PDF. I crossed out the information using a screenshot on a separate application. Also, as a clarification, this forum post isn't intended for asking about redactions. It is more focused on export complications on InDesign. Thank you again! Zebrina

Hi Barbara, I just checked the document and the "nonprinting" box is not checked so I don't think the blue rectangle is set to nonprinting. I also checked to make sure the blue is "Paper" and it isn't. The blue is set to the color swatch I created.

Greetings, I am currently creating a brochure on InDesign CC. For some reason when I export the document to a PDF, the color rectangles that I am using as a background turn transparent. This happens when I have the background in either the A-Master pages or the regular pages. At first, it seemed like the solution was to change the layers around to make sure that the background is in a layer for it to be visible. But, this temporary solution is no longer working. I read other forums where people said it might be because the color I am using is a paper swatch or paper color. However, I do not think the color is a paper swatch color. Below you can see what the InDesign layout looks like versus the PDF that I recently exported. Thank you in advance for your help! I'm looking forward to hearing solutions P.S. I was required to block out an identifying information to protect my client. Thank you for understanding! Layout in InDesign Document PDF Export of InDesign Document
