Problem Note 68991: A multi-page PDF file might contain a page with a duplicated image from a previous page
 |  |  |  |  |
When you create multi-page PDF output using the SAS® Output Delivery System (ODS), graphics output might be duplicated from a previously generated page. This problem is random and can occur anywhere within the PDF file. Rerunning the same code with the same data can either move the problem to a different page or produce a successful result. No errors or warnings are produced in the log to indicate any problem.
The duplication problem affects only the graphics output area. Any defined titles or footnotes are correct, but the graphics appear incorrectly.
