Hey all! 
For some reason for some projects when i export PDF a white line shows along the border of some of the sides. 

I've attached an example.

A white line is showing on the left side border of this design:

Which is not in the design:

I've checked my "Transform settings" - these don't look out of the ordinary:

I am doing a simple export: FILE > EXPORT > DIGITAL HIGH QUALITY PDF 

Hoping for some feedback if i'm missing anything! 

Ive also attached AF file & PDF file :)

 

thanks!!

Hi @Beck,

How are you viewing your exported PDF files?

I was going to suggest pixel aligning your 'Back' artboard but I'm not seeing the white line shown in your screengrab.

I am not at all sure what you are after here. The size of the Card is supposed to be 90 x 55 mm but you have included the bleed as part of the document size so they are 92 x 57 mm. Also be aware that PDFs are in points and at 72 pixels per inch so mm and 72 dpi/ppi will result in fractional pixels.

I would make the design at 90 x 55 with a 2 mm bleed and then I don't care that there is a ghosted pixel at the side and or bottom due to misaligned mm versus pixel based work. The Bleed will be trimmed off. Or I would work with pixel dimensions and align to pixels.

Pixels and mm don't work well together.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Hey all, I realised I hadn't replied in here! 
After testing these, some of my artworks had the decimals in under transform which I removed. 

Some of the files also showed white line on certain screens too, so this is all fixed :) 

 

Thanks for your input everyone!
