Disappearing linked resources (PDF image) - Publisher v2.2.0

[Robby Poole]

I created a music instructional book in Publisher v1. I opened the same project in version 2., and have had mostly good results. Problem being that every now and then a resource is depicted with the blue outline, but shows nothing. In particular, I have 2 small graphics that we saved as PDFs. Some of the PDFs placed in the document like this don't show. And I cannot seem to find a way to update the resource. 

 

One can see from the screen shot that a blue box is located where 5 graphics exists. Oddly 2 do show. When I export to a PDF they do appear. 

 

Anyone else having this issue? I am using v2.2 on macOS Ventura (13.5.2)

 

Thank you,

Robby

Yes, this happens often with placed PDFs. They become visible if I click on them. I often work on things like logo wall banners and this bug is very annoying. I export low res mock-ups for the client as PNG or JPG and every time I have to double check if all logos are visible.

Hi @Robby Poole,

Are you able to upload the pdf or pdf's in question so we can take a look at what might be going on?

How were the pdf's been initially created, i.e., using which software?

[Robby Poole]

I can certainly upload the PDFs of the graphics, that's not an issue. The book has a copyright, so I cannot upload the file of the book. 

 

The PDFs were created in a music software called Dorico. It has a graphic export section, with many options. I read/was told many years ago that PDF is very similar to SVG on many levels, that using a PDF as a graphic of music example is a great way to work (as PDF is compatible in more software packages). I have gone through and changed this example to using SVGs, but this issue is popping up elsewhere.

 

Here are the files that are missing.
