Dark box added behind image

Apologies if this has been asked before. I've done a search and couldn't find it …

I've designed a book cover in Affinity Designer 2 which is all fine, but when I export a press-ready pdf, in Adobe Acrobat it's showing that a dark box has been added in the pdf version, as shown on the attached image.

Exported PNGs and JPEGs don't show it, and it's not showing on screen on the Affinity file.

The 'text' it's showing behind is actually all individual JPEG images with the background removed. I've tweaked every export setting, but the box still shows?

Obviously, I can delete it for conventional text, but the images are perfect for the author's book about a raid on a terrorists' barbed-wire-ringed compound, so I'd rather not.

Any help would be much appreciated.

My apologies – it's sorted. Turned out it didn't like them being grouped, with a brightness adjustment on the group. When it's ungrouped and the brightness change is applied to every image, it's fine.
