When I export my inDesign document as a PDF, some text randomly disappears (see orange text on the screenshots below).
I tried converting text to outlines and that did not work. Same colored text on other pages appear in my PDF.

Have you checked that the text frames aren’t set to not print? That would be the first thing I’d check.– Janus Bahs JacquetCommented Nov 24, 2020 at 22:46

Tried that - did nothing, unfortunately...– YanaCommented Nov 24, 2020 at 22:59

And they’re not on a separate layer that’s set to not print either?– Janus Bahs JacquetCommented Nov 24, 2020 at 23:00

Checked. No, same layer.– YanaCommented Nov 24, 2020 at 23:10

Hi. Welcome to GDSE. What software are you using to view the PDF? Try using Adobe Acrobat (or Reader).– Billy KerrCommented Nov 25, 2020 at 2:02

The text in question is marked as non-printing (Attributes panel, [x] Nonprinting). In the example below the second text box is marked as non-printing, therefore will not export.
If you don't want to hunt down all the objects that are marked as non-printing, check the [x] Non-printing Objects in the PDF export dialog.

Given that the asker stated in a comment that the text frames are not marked as non-printing, this doesn’t seem likely to be the correct reason. Commented Apr 25, 2021 at 15:14
