InDesign CS4 missing objects at export

[wuppie]

I think I have a similar problem. I just can't figure it out!

I have master pages and one object that covers them both. Now, when in Indesign everything seems to be fine. But when I export to PDF, on the EVEN page numbers this object comes to the foreground. I have added a PDF as an example.

This happens to me in every Indesign file I make!

You would be my absolute hero if you can explain this to me.

Hi Wuppie

I tried a couple of ways and couldn't reproduce your error in CS5, CS4 or CS3. How are you creating the PDFs? Does it make any difference to export with different PDF settings (PDF X1a or X4)?

You might have some issues with file corruption or corruption in your preferences. You could try deleting the InDesign Prefs to see if it makes any difference. You could also try exporting as an .inx file and reimporting into InDesign to clear up any corruption in the file.

It would seem that the issue is related to InDesign mis-assigning the stacking order of objects on the facing page. Try moving the foreground object to a separate layer on top to see if that helps any.

I've got two files (indd & pdf) embedded in a zip file attached here to ask for help.

I've got the same problem which is happened when I export my file as a pdf file & the objects in my master page is not going to show after exporting. The problem is in pages 3 & 5 (this file is a save-as file from a big book of mine with 404 pages). And I've got this problem in many random pages.

But when I export the problem-maker pages separately, things will be shown correctly!

Indesign CS5 with Windows 7 (both x64) AND I hadn't the problem couple of days ago.
I exported it in Acrobat 8/9 (PDF 1.7).

Any help?
