Anchored elements missing in PDF when anchor is on a different page and inside a table

Hy there,
I have the following problem: Anchored elements are missing in the PDF (whether interactive or for print) when the anchor is located on a different page and inside a table. The anchored elements only appear when the anchor is inside a text box or when both the element and its anchor are on the same page.

Does anybody know if this is a bug, or am i doing something wrong?
Thx

Hello @Nadine25397689hodz,

I appreciate you providing the information. I attempted to replicate this issue on my side, but I couldn't find the missing anchored elements in the PDF export. To assist us in testing this more effectively, could you please provide a sample INDD file where the problem occurs, along with a screenshot of the specific PDF export settings you are utilizing? If it's confidential, feel free to share it via DM and use any public file transfer services like Drive, Dropbox, etc.

I look forward to your response.

Hi Abhisek

I uploaded the INDD-File, the PDF and a screenshot with the export options.

I've noticed that all anchor elements are only included when I select "Druckbogen" (Spread), but I need single pages.
