I cannot export text from a PDF page as an image

Community Beginner ,

I cannot export the text on the page as an image. When I choose to export a page with editable text it only exports the background and not the text; this leaves the whole page without text.

But in reality, after exporting this page as an image, it will look like this. The text is all gone

Yeah,sure.

The original file is over 47MB, so here I have selected the first few pages to make a small DEMO, page 6 is the page that cannot be exported as an image (if exported as an image all text information will be lost)

Well, this is due to my stupidity.

When exporting there was an option to "export all images", which I misinterpreted as "export all pages". That's what caused the error.

Thank you for your patience in answering my silly question!

Choose Image as your export format, and then choose JPEG.Click Export. The Save As dialog box is displayed.

Select a location where you want to save the file, and then click Save.
Each page in the PDF is saved as separate JPEG files.
