[Publisher2] PDF Export displays black border on white text in some viewers


Recommended Posts

Here is what the PDF looks like in Gmail PDF Preview (and however my son's elementary school is viewing them and how it printed by them):

This is what it looks like in Publisher and in Adobe Acrobat (free) and when I printed it at the library to test:

This was using the default PDF (for print) option, though I've tried setting color space to RGB and I also tried doing no rasterization; no difference in the export (both ideas from similar forum posts).

Needless to say, I'd rather resolve this in the export rather than fight with the printer (elementary school secretary) about her PDF viewer. I'm using only fonts default to Affinity Publisher & Windows 10.

Any thoughts?

You have a black stroke applied to the text. If you zoom in you will see it

To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.
