Blank pdf pages

Hi!

I am a quite experienced user of Illustrator, but I cannot figure out how to solve this issue!

I have a pdf. I open it in Illustrator. When I then save to pdf, some of the pages are blank. When I drag my cursor down the page, I can see that the text is still there - it's just invisible. This is only true for a few of the pages.

I have tried multiple things. I checked that the layer is set to print. I have tried every pdf export setting. I have tried compressing the size of the initial pdf. I have tried splitting the pdf into individual pages and editing them in Illustrator, but the same pages are still blank when I save them as a pdf.

Any ideas? Would be much appreciated as this is quite stressful. Thanks.

I'm sure someone is going to tell you Illustrator is not a PDF editor even though that's how most people work! but there maybe something funky from whatever created the pdf originally, what app created the pdf?

You're definitely right, it's not. I had that same thought, because it's a pdf originally generated from Latex. But I have several other similar documents created the same way where this doesn't happen.
