I made two documents, one with 19 pages and one with 17 pages; they are both technical packs that I will send to a manufacturer. Therefore, I want to send it in pdf form so they can receive it easily and with access to the vector files. When I exported the document with 19 pages, it exported perfectly. Then when I followed the same process of exporting the 17 page document as a pdf, it always exports with messed up clips. The clips just do not work at all, and I need them to work, and soon. Can someone please help me fix this because I tried to troubleshoot for hours and have no idead what it could be?
I opened your file in Inkscape. I don't have the "Coolvetica" font so Inkscape displays these as "sans-serif". This means text layouts are off, but otherwise everything looks good. (Step 1 successfully completed!)
I exported a pdf [File > Save a Copy...] [*.pdf] and compared it to the original svg. I see the problem. On pages 1, 2 & 7, the bitmap textures spill outside the clipping paths. (Step 2 successfully completed!)
I didn't get to Step 3 yet (a solution, hopefully) but I'll report back when i get some time to investigate.
The SVG document looks like it was saved as a pdf, then opened in Inkscape... many unneeded clips.
I'd ungroup everything, release all the clips, delete all the clipping objects, clean the document.
Then, I'd replace all the undecorated tees with an image pattern fill for the texture, instead of using clipped images. That pattern-filled-tee (and its associated objects) can be grouped, then cloned throughout the document instead of multiple images that greatly expand the filesize.
I think the issue comes from the hudge clipped image you used to give T-shirts a texture. I'd suggest to make bitmap copies (shortcut alt-B) of one clipped image: same result (the bitmap gets the opacity settings you want) then clone it for the other two shirts as Tyler explained.

Somebody here can likely help you, but there's not much to go on. Use the paperclip icon below to attach a problem svg file for interrogation.
I do not know how to share the svg file here. It says I have to use a URL link but I can't convert it into a link.
This is the file
