Exported Report to PDF, 2nd page data shows in Chrome, not Acrobat.

Hey there, we've got a report that we're exporting from our C++ Builder program (using v12.2), and the data looks good before we're exporting it (it's data over top of a form image). When we open the resulting pdf file in Chrome or edge or Acrobat, the first page looks good, but the second page data only shows up in Chrome or Edge (i.e. not Acrobat)!! The form image is there on the second page in all renders, but in Acrobat itself the data on the second page doesn't show up!

I've tried printing the pdf from chrome to pdf, and when I reopen the new pdf from chrome, i see the data, but even this new file does not render the data on the second page within Acrobat. I've tried looking for hidden layers (there are none), have tried removing some security (enhanced) settings at the recommendation of ChatGPT, and still nothing. I just can't get this 2nd page data to show in Acrobat. If I print it to paper from Chrome, where I can see it, it shows up on the printed page. If I print the file from Acrobat (that doesn't show the data on the second page), it says that an error exists on this page. Any idea why I'd only have bad data/error on the 2nd page (which is the same as the first page, only with less data)?

Have you ever seen this behavior before?

    G'day Bowerick,

    That's a strange one for sure.

    Did you do something special in terms of PDF Version / Options when you created the file(s)?

    Is the second page different in any way, e.g. special Fonts?

    Does this happen with all of your Reports, or just rhis one?

    Cheers, Paul
