Content of Master page disappears after creating 2nd page in document


Recommended Posts

I created a Master Page with some graphical elements and some text frames.

The layout of the first page in the document was correct (as defined in the master page).

When adding one of more pages based on the master page, the master page went blank and of course all added pages were blank.

The only solution I found was to undo until the master page content reappeared and then duplicating the first page.

I made a new document with the same settings and attached it. The same problem occured.

I'm looking forward to your reactions on this and hope to find a solution.

Thank for your reaction.

I forgot that the picture is linked. I added it to the message. But you did reproduce the error as the master page is blank.

The Original master page contains the "three wineglasses and three empty textboxes" and 5 horizontal guides.

The error is exactly that the master page goes blank.

Textboxes were normal, so not upside down etc.

What I experienced was the following: (tried it 2x)

- I created a new document

- added to master page A: guides, pictures in picture frame, text frames

- added a page based on master page A … so far so good

- next steps like adding another page just caused the master page to loose all content

I've done more tests with several settings for new documents and the bug appears systematically.

=> create new document

=> add guides with the guide manager to the master page

=> go to the a page of add a page and all guides disappear / the master is completely blank

It is difficult to see what you might have done wrong, or what might have gone wrong, because you did not provide the History with your .afpub.

If you can recreate the issue in a new file, with File > Save History With Document enabled, and then save a new .afpub file for us that would be helpful.

I'm absolutely sure I've put guides, a picture frame and a tekst frame on the master page.

I've recreated this problem meanwhile in 5 different new files.

The problem is exactly that whatever I put on the master page disappears when changing focus to the normal pages.

With undo (ctrl + z) it is possible to get the content back on the master page.
