Disappearing gradients? Won't export to PDF.

Hi there, I have searched around for answers to this and cannot find anything which is quite the same issue. To summarize briefly I have a file sent to me from our head office which was made in InDesign and it contains some gradients (just pointing out that the gradients are native to Indesign, it's not like it was something copied and pasted from Illustrator).  Everything looks fine, but when I export to a PDF (it's a brochure to give to customers) the gradient is simply replaced by a solid colour.

I've tried playing with the export to PDF settings, I've tried changing the transparency colour space a a few other bits and bobs but to no avail.

I don't know if this makes a difference but the affected square is in the Master page.  i.e. not normally selectable unless you edit the master page.  But that said, I copied the contents and pasted them into a regular layer and still had the same problem.

Any ideas?
