Illustrator: text to outlines, lettre L thicker than others in the exported PDF

Hi, when converting the font to outlines in Illustrator and then exporting to PDF (PDF/X-1a:2001), the letter "L" in the text appears to be written in a thicker weight than the rest of the letters. How is this possible, and how can it be fixed? Thanks and greetings from the Czech Republic. Lenka

Assuming you're viewing the .pdf in Acrobat, you may go to the Acrobat Preferences > Page Display and turn off the Enhance Thin Lines option.

No warranty, but it often helps to correct this display issue.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
