Missing pages when saving in PDF

Question

When I try to save a large document, usually in PDF, some of the pages come out blank. If I go back in and remove the blank pages and save as PDF again, a new set of random pages are blank. Also, every page after the blank saved pages are blurry. Pages appear fine in OneNote, the issue seems to occur when the docs are saving. 

The pages I'm saving are printouts sent to OneNote

Hi Sam,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Office Community.

Before we proceed, I would require more information to assist you better.

1. What is the content of the pages which are turning into blank pages? Does it contain any images or a specific type of font?
2. If it contains images what is the file format of the image?

Please get back to us with necessary information, we’ll be glad to assist you further.

Thank you.

Hello Sam,

Thank you for reply.

How exactly are you saving the file to PDF? Is it through FILE>Export>PDF?

Try printing a OneNote file to Microsoft XPS Document and verify the result.

Answer 3

I'm not having an issue with the first page being blank. My problem is random pages throughout the document not saving correctly and coming out blank. For example, I could try and save 20 pages, but the content that was on page 15 and 17 won't show up in the saved PDF; those two pages are blank or only the top half of the image saved.

Answer 4

I print multiple PDF statements to OneNote, so that I can save it as one large document. There are no images on the statement, and I don't know what the font type is. 

Issue only occurs when my workbook contains a large amount of print out, about 20+. Also, when I try saving it again, different pages will end up blank, while original blank pages will be visible.
