    And this is visible when you open the PDF in Acrobat?

     

    If so: please post screenshots.

    Are you working in InDesign? If so, please tell us (exactly) what InDesign version you're using. Please tell us what operating system (exactly) you're running.

     

    Are you choosing File > Export > PDF (Print)? What PDF setting are you using?

     

    Show a screen shot of what it looks like in InDesign, and in the PDF in Adobe Acrobat.

    Sorry, I saw this is the InDesign forum, then got moved to the Illustrator forum so some of my questions would be slightly different then for InDesign

    p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post if it helps you get responses.
