Export from InDesign to PDF, when opened in Illustrator items missing

Question

I have a client sending me a PDF, looks fine in Acrobat and Photoshop, but when opened in Illustrator there are items missing. I have opened thei Indesign file and cannot see anything wrong, checked the layers are all set to print, overall i am at a loss and would appreciate any assistance.

Thank you.

I have attached the files in question

Outlining this only exports the vectors partially with no fills. Font changes do nothing.

Wonderful ideas, but sadly on the production end of thing, completely unrealistic. PDF is sadlly the universal document format all the various softwares communicate in and like i said, generally without error.

Thanks for trying.

Gradients between Illustrator and InDesign are not fully compatible.

The gradients in your problem objects are applied in a way that tends to not work. You have moved the gradient stops away from the far end(s). Move them to the far ends and then it might work better.

BTW: this is a user forum. More than 90% of the time you are talking to other users here. Only people marked as "Staff" are staff. No need to tell me about "the production end of thing" ...
