Photobook exported to PDF: total mess

Hi,


I experience problems while creating photobooks in Photos 1.2 (340.4.0) /El Capitan 10.11.1, Macbook Pro late 2011, 16GB RAM, 512 GB SSD disk/. When i place photos during creation of the book it all seems ok, until I export to PDF - which is total mess.


In the PDF, background images are mostly missing, some pictures too, pages are sometimes in wrong order. It happened repeatedly, I even tried different book templates. I repaired the Photos library, restarted, etc., nothing seems to help.


While exported PDFs are so screwed, I have no courage to place order for 90,- EUR photobook, even if it looks OK in the Photos app 😟


I used to use Aperture, where exported PDFs were always OK.


The computer is in good condition, everything else works right.


Is there a solution?

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1), Photos 1.2 (340.4.0)

Have you run any "cleaning", "optimizing" apps or MacKeeper?


Download and run Etrecheck. Copy and paste the results into your reply. Etrecheck is a diagnostic tool that was developed by one of the most respected users here (and recommended by Apple Support personnel) in the ASC to provide a snapshot of the system and help identify the more obvious culprits that can adversely affect a Mac's performance.
