Hello EGTucker ,

Can you check and change the properties of the box above the missing text in the source document?

I saw that happen when the box/table properties were ticked for overflowing/wrapped.

Without seeing how the document has been set up it's just guessing based on past experience, however. I hope this will help, though.

Lenka_Kerumova, I'm not wholly sure your meaning - but the images are "in-line" with text so there wouldn't be any overflow as far as I know. If that's not what you're talking about, could you clarify?

Hello EGTucker
I changed the wrapping, and the text is there. Please see attached.
Like I said, PDF's for some reason don't like the 'in text' and for tables the 'wrapped'.

  On second thought - sorry for not checking that earlier - have you tried changing the different types of wrapping before?
  
  If that's not working, it miht be worth putting the picture in a table (via Inset → Shapes → Drawing canvas), and make sure the table has no wrapping.
  I really don't have the answer to the 'why' that's happening, but I learnt from experience to play around with that to fix it.
  Hope either suggestion helps.
