      This is hidden until you select all then a small ‘box’ shows up on the page, but you can’t move it, select it or delete it, but if you place your cursor over it you get something like this <- ->. Basically you can’t do anything with it! This box has an undesirable affect that when a PDF is made from the page you get an area of total black colour and nothing else.
      Now here’s the thing it’s CS2 (yes I know I can hear all the laughing now):(

      I can supply images of this and of the page effect.

      Any help will be appreciated

      Supply images.

      Check to see if you have something on your master page or any parent to the master page. Then check to see if you have individually locked an object in the layers palette.

        That was my first thought, Justin. That is locked. OR possibly on a different layer that is locked?

      Thanks for your feedback, I found out what it is. On the page there is an image that someone had made a cut-out path with an anchor point. Using the delete anchor point tool I deleted it and created the PDF again this time OK.
      My question is why would this rouge anchor point cause everything to the right of it go black?
