I'm having trouble with layers set to non-printing when printing or making a PDF. Whatever I do (short of deleting them) they still seem to appear, I've tried changing the settings in the print dialog box/PDF dialog box from visible to visible and printable, nothing seems to work. Is this a glitch?

I changed no settings whatsoever and it stopped doing it, my InDesign is very temperamental it seems.

I still have the broken PDF though so here are screenshots, I think it's almost certainly a glitch though

Since this is about the PDF app please confirm the app used to open the PDF, including version. Don't ASSUME it is Acrobat, read the app name.

One more thing. Do you have "Make Acrobat Layers" checked? If so, turn it off and see if that helps.

How are you setting the items to be non-printing? Are you setting the Layer to Not to Print or the object using the Attributes panel?

This can make a difference

Sorry, I should've been more specific. I'm setting it using the layers panel, I'm using InDesign CC 2015 and I'm on Mac OS Sierra. I should also state that the stuff on the non-printing layer is exclusively coloured text boxes and while it prints the coloured box, it doesn't print the text. I'll get a screenshot if you still need it.
