Frame ghosting in InDesign CS4

Hey, all...I'm having an issue with a project I'm currently working on. I have a number of charts and tables in this project, with many elements. They look great in InDesign; but after I've exported them to PDF to send to the printer, the PDF has faint ghosts showing up where the object and text frames are.

I've attached PDFs of one of the tables showing the ghosting. I've looked around online, and can't seem to find an issue of this happening before; that probably just means my Google-fu is failing me, but it led me to this forum, and I hope someone can help me figure out what's going on and how to fix it.

Ideas? Thoughts? Advice?

Hi,

This probably happens when you look at the pdf's in Acrobat.

This is due to a bug in Acrobat

Go to your preferences in Acrobat, under Page Display go to the Rendering section.

Uncheck Smooth Line Art and Smooth Images.

The white lines will disappear.

good luck

Interesting...I went to the preferences, and those boxes are indeed checked. However, they are also greyed out, so that I cannot select them. Thoughts?

Do you use Acrobat Pro or just the reader?
