Table header disappear when exporting to pdf

[belisir]

Hello Adobe Community I'm using Indesign and have created a table, the upper cells row I have done as Header and introduced an image in each cell. The header repeats in each single page after and this is fine. The problem appears when exporting in pdf where the header appears only on the first page and not on the followings. File was created with CS3 first than converted to the last indesign. Thanks alot for your help. Beppe

I got this back after uploading Correct the highlighted errors and try again. The attachment's indesign table repeating header issue.idml content type (application/octet-stream) does not match its file extension and has been removed.

it seems that indesign fails to export to pdf the headers of tables that contain graphic cells.

you could avoid the problem by anchoring images in text cells

you could also submit bug repport here

I also tried it, but it seems to happen after InDesign CC2015 (ver 11.x).

I think this must be a bug.

At least my verification did not happen in CC2014 (ver 10.x)

Why don't you try it there if possible?

This is still a bug in InDesign 16.1

Please fix it!

Hi bellsir,

I tried this with my own table, my own image and with a new InDesign 2021 document on Windows 10.

See no issues with PDF export to e.g. PDF/X-4. All the images are there. Also in the repeated table header rows.

You can download my test documents from my Dropbox account:
