Issue with Missing Pages During PDF Export in InDesign 19

[Kevin28193611ob3c]

When exporting from InDesign 19 to PDF, the PDF file always is missing 2 specific pages. Any idea why this occurs and what can be done to include them?

Is this only with one file, or for all files?

Did you check to be sure you haven't set page ranges to export that exclude those missing pages?

[Kevin28193611ob3c]

One file. The Export to PDF was for All Pages. Even when Printing, those same pages are missing from the hardcopy. Oddly, every time i open the Master File, they are there, so they do save. Any idea where or what could be blocking them from exporting?

Have you "hide" those pages in the Pages Panel?

Hey Robert, i just tried to Export those 2 pages to PDF and i got the message they are hidden. I certainally didnt deliberately do that, but now i cannot find out how to go in and "unhide" them. Do you have any quick tips on this? No worries if not, i can try to search it out

Hide spread section.

You're a HERO!

do you know if there is a way to see the whole file for any pages that are Hidden? I'm wondering if this is the only spread i triggered to hide or not.

There should be an icon for each hidden spread - so you have to scroll through the Pages Panel.

Is the contenrt on those pages perhaps marked as non-printing?

[Dave Creamer of IDEAS]

What happens if you only export those two pages? (I assume you are exporting ALL and not a page range.)

[Kevin28193611ob3c]

Hi Dave,

I just tried to do that and those 2 pages came up as Hidden. My reply above to Robert describes that it is a setting i did not deliberately make, but i cannot find (after a simple look) how to Unhide them. Do you know of the steps to make this change?
