ArcGIS Pro Export Layout Top Margin Disappears

Hello,

I have a map series layout set up in ArcGIS Pro 2.9.2. My page is set up to use a standard letter size paper 8.5 x 11. I set a guide in my layout to have about a 1/2 inch margin from all four sides. When I export my layout to PDF, the top margin disappears and the text aligns to the very top of the page.

I attempted to lower the margin to 1 inch but the same thing happens. I also attempted to add a new line return in my text box but that did not make a difference either. What could be causing the top margin to disappear during export?

Do you have clip to graphics extent check on in your export? That clips to the graphic boundary and removes any margins. I can't think of any other reason this would be happening.

That was exactly the cause. I must have accidentally selected that and did not notice. Thank you for your time!
