      Hi, this is an old issue, but one that's still bugging me. I'm using InDesign CS4. When I use an effect involving transparency (like a drop shadow behind type) and then export to PDF, there's a ghosty light outline around the element, in the PDF. It's not “really there” so when you zoom in on it, it disappears. And it doesn't print. But it does show in the PDF, so if that's your final product, you've got weird little ghosty lines. Has this been worked out? Thanks!

      Hi there, As far as I know this has not been worked out. But since it does not affect the final outout in print, dont let it bother you

      Hi there. This problem is inherent to Acrobat and easy to solve. Open the preferences panel. Click on “Page Display” in the right column named “Categories”. In the “Rendering” section, make sure that “Smooth line art” is unchecked. There you are, the ghost lines should disappear. Although these lines actually do not affect the quality of your prints, they may raise some questions from unaware customers or authors. Hope this answer turned to be helpful. Please forgive my somewhat broken english, I am a “damn froggie”.
