PDF export changes paragraph styles on master page overides

Things look cool before PDF export but when I view it many of the pages with master overrides have the paragraph styles changed to section headers or they lose some of the object stylings.

When I open the ID file they have been changed in the file as well.

I had the good sense to save as an idml before the export, after the first time this arose, and those appear to be unaffected.

But how do I give my client a proof???? I know it's Friday and late, but I committed to working the weekend and hoping someone can help!

Working with ID 2018, the last upgrade I could do on my 2011 Mac.

Thanks in advance!

Correct answer BobLevine

And PDF smallest size for proofing


First thing I'd try is to export the INDD file to IDML and open that and work on it.

Sounds like something is very corrupt.

Screenshots would help as would more details such as your export settings and how you're viewing the PDF.

before export

after export

Note the folio, it has changed to section head styling from folio styling.

I'm viewing it in Acrobat, don't know how my client is viewing but we are seeing the same thing.

Thanks Bob, for chiming in!!
