Pages export to pdf not saving the formatting

When a friend exports a Pages document as a PDF file and sends it to me, it does not keep all the tabs and the automatic numbering. Is there a way to force this to happen so the document stays the same?

Rather than exporting as a PDF (File > Export to > PDF…) try printing to a PDF. It should be the same but sometimes one method is better than the other.
