Can somebody tell me why this is happening...

I finished this client's file in AI and when I go to save as a PDF this 'white space' happens .... I've done these cards this way a hundred times and never have had this happen ... and I can't figure out why? Ive attached both AI and PDF file.

OK .... when I went to post this came up ... maybe this is the problem?

The attachment .AI content type (application / postscript) does not match file extension.

My suggestion is to select the object with the offending white band and apply a blending mode of Multiply in the Appearance, Control, or Transparency panel.

Thanks Peter ... it will only let me select th photo and then it completely fades out on multiply?

Driving me crazy ... never have I had this ...

You have a blue color applied to that section of the image, set to overprint. Going to View > Overprint Preview makes the image visible.
