Bills missing footer when printing to pdf

Three years ago, some poor soul had the same problem that I'm having and didn't get an answer. A few years before that someone else had the same problem and got some help. I tried those solutions but no luck. Hopefully you will have some other ideas to help me.

I have designed a bill with a header and footer. Quite frankly, it's a work of art. 

Print to display - fine
Print to physical printer - fine
Print to 3rd party pdf printer - fine (except that I can't embed fonts)

Print to PDF via Timeslips and the footer is missing. I have

 - deleted the graphic and added it again
 - deleted the graphic, exported the layout, imported it into a new bill and then added the graphic
 - shrunk the graphic so it would definitely fit the page

I have the graphic in every possible footer section.

Whilst printing to and external pdf printer is one solution (and I could probably download a better pdf printer which will embed fonts) it's not the preferred solution as I would like the ability to do a print run to pdf and have those bills appear in the relevant customer folder.

Please help!
