I'm having a similar (possibly the same) issue on https://www.dndbeyond.com/profile/MenthaOrgalus/characters/46113695 - have added a custom item (Wand of Bristles from KPOGL) and when I export to PDF the text is included under "ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT" but is not visible (i.e. I can only find it by using the PDF search function). Any idea what's happening here? Thanks! :)

After you add anything to, change anything on, or remove anything from any character sheet you MUST wait a minimum of 20 minutes before exporting the PDF.
Thanks a bunch for the response - it's now been about two days, and the export still has the same issue. I'd clarify that the test is in the PDF, it's just invisible (could be white-text-on-white-background, or could be that this textbox has visibility set false - I'm not a PDF expert so don't know how these things can happen) when both viewed and printed. Only way I can find it is by using the PDF search function. Any other thoughts?

Sorry, no. I don’t use hardcopy, I use the website to manage my characters during sessions to kill fewer trees. (I like trees better than people.)

Maybe it's because the Wand is in your Backpack, which isn't equipped? (Although when I just made a PDF export of my own character, unequipped items showed up in the Additional Equipment...) Or possibly because it's a custom item in a container?
Try clicking the Inspiration box twice then reloading the page, in order to re-cache the character. After that, wait 20 minutes and try Exporting to PDF again.
With the amount of detail on that Wand and its attunement requirement, I'd recommend homebrewing an actual magic item for it, instead of just using a custom item.

Thanks for the help - moving it from backpack to the equipment section seems to have fixed it. The invisible text is still also under additional equipment, but I'm going to assume that this is some sort of PDF export work-around the devs have done (vaguely tempted to put in a bug report on the off-chance it is a bug, but not sure I want to stick my nose where it's not needed). It's also where it needs to be to be visible, which is enough for me! Thanks again for the assistance, it's greatly appreciated :)
I'm finding info missing from the exported PDF. Most noticeably, attacks are not included. Are home brew and custom items not exportable?
Could you link the affected character, and let us know what you're expecting to see on the PDF export that is not appearing?
Currently I am seeing the attacks from my equipped weapons and my homebrew items on my PDF export as expected. :)
Sure, here:

Thank you! It looks like Custom Actions are not exporting to the sheet. I will raise a ticket for this issue.
Thank you!
