FCPX video missing a slide

I have MacOs version 11.6 and FCPX 10.6.3. I've just copied onto my MBP a saved project from a hard drive ((from earlier this year). It needed to be updated when opening in FCPX. I had an error in some (pdf) slides in the video that I corrected. However, when I export the video, I get the message: '(Project name) has missing or offline titles, effects, generators, or media. If you continue, these items will be replaced with missing-media graphics.' I continue, and the exported video is missing the first slide, even though it is showing as expected in FCPX. Any suggestions as to how to remedy this please?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 11.6

Ok... I've just noticed that in the browser, the pdf for the 1st slide has a yellow triangle box on it with and exclamation mark... so that's probably the issue. I tried exporting the original pages file to pdf again, but there was no change.

Thanks Tom.

The pdf slides are on the left of the screen and I'm on the right. When I select the first pdf (on top of the magnetic timeline) and press Shift-F, it shows in it's original format (not cropped nor transformed) in the centre of the viewer against a black backdrop.

Reveal in finder is greyed out (when I right click on the browser pdf name and also under file).

Try using the relink function and see if it will connect to the new copy of the PDF. Where was the file supposed to have stored?

First, select the PDF in the project and press Shift-F. What go you get? Check the file in the browser and use the Reveal in Finder function. What happens then?
