Blank pages do not appear in PDF

[Churchy]

My document has several blank pages in between pages with printing elements. They do not appear on the exported PDFs. How can I be sure to make them appear?

Hi @Churchy,

Where should the blank pages be?  Your file is exporting to PDF exactly how it's laid out in Publisher, you have a total of 3 blank pages in the attached file and they are all in the PDF.  Did you attach the right file?

I can't see any difference between the afpub file and the exported PDF?

I don't know what happened; it certainly didn't seem to have the blanks when I looked at it. Now it doesn't export most of the front matter, though I've asked for all the pages.

Which pages isn't the text appearing on for you?  As when I check your newly attached PDF, the text matches up to the afpub file you attached in your first post.  Also how are you checking the PDF?

The entire first section of eight pages is not appearing in the PDF when I open it in Acrobat. There should be a total of 34 pages. when I open Acrobat to check it there are are 29. There is no blank after the half title, and there should be. I don't understand why everyone else seems to see the correct version and I don't. Is this a problem with Acrobat? I've never had it before; the PDFs were correct until yesterday.

I am attaching reduced size screen captures of the PDF as I see it.

Well now that I've posted the problem it seems to have disappeared. All pages are showing in the PDF. I restarted the computer; perhaps that helped. Thanks to all who answered.

Since you are on a mac: For unexpected PDF display issues it can be worth to check in macOS Preview.app, too, or any other PDF viewing app. Even opening the PDF in Affinity may be a useful option.
