Hi,

 

This is a 2c colour book; open the PDF file because black does not appear on PDF files. Only pantone colours are presented. However, simulate overprinting in the separation preview to PDF files and visible black colour.

 

  

How to fix the issues. Please check and advise. I have attached screenshot for your reference.

It's hard to tell without seeing the file, embed the images and share the file in IDML (not INDD) if you want me to have a look.

The problem comes from a setting in InDesign, I suppose the (black) image is set as non-printable, or it's placed on a non-printable layer.
In any case, for this black image you should set it to overprint.
