Image error - Only see image when exporting to PDF

Question

Hello, novice Indesign user.

I only see this image when I export to pdf. I cannot see the image on the actual page layout nor can I see it in MasterPages. I am multiple Indd files in a book folder and when I export the book to pdf. I see the "ghost" image. If I export the individual layout to pdf, the "ghost" image does not appear. Image appears in the bleed section of page. I checked different postings and cannot find a solution. Any help/guidance is greatly appreciated.

It looks like you are seeing the shadow and a sliver of a frame from the left side facing page, this is to be expected when you have bleed on all sides of the page. If this is the problem, change the inside bleed to 0 when exporting your book to PDF.

Note, you can turn on the trim & bleed boxes in Acrobat, which can help you identify the page trim line (Tools> Print Production> Output Preview).

Which version of InDesign and OS?I think we’d need to see the InDesign document to sort this out -- maybe you could post a link.
