    Default PDF won't export selected pages

    XDPX - website with a long scrollable main page and then 6 following pages which go into detail info when a user clicks the relevant button on the main page.
    I want to export the 6 separate pages as one pdf which the user can download.
    Simple right? In pdf dialogue click pgs 2-7? Wrong - get pages 2,3,4 only.
    Experiment export pages 5-7 - wrong - get pages 2-3!!
    I'm going mad - please help

    I've saved the web file as a .xar file and opened it in P&GD v17 - chose pages 2-7 - perfect!!! What gives?

    LGF, no issue here with any XDA that handles PDFs.

    LGF, for whatever reason Xara is not recognising or skipping some of your pages.

    The quick solution is save a copy and then delete the first page and Export PDF for the remaining ones. That works perfectly.

    I found your Page backgrounds to be over-complex with a Repeat in Variants shape that served no purpose.
    I doubt there is any real issue here though.

    I think the file has been corrupted and is beyond fixing as the XAR has the same issues.

    rizarfaldi, welcome to Talkgraphics.
    That's a shocker as I believed it had to be a corrupt file. Any chance of you uploading yours?
