Problem with the (strokes) lines in Illustrator files when saving them in PDF format.

Question

Hello, I have the following problem, to see if someone could help me.

It turns out that I have the design of an isologo, and in it I have very thin gray lines in the background, but when I save the PDF file all the lines are modified and swell a lot (bigger lines) , and that modifies the design of everything. I'm already somewhat desperate. It is not a problem of escalation within the AI, it is only when I save the PDF file to present it. Thanks in advance to anyone who wants to respond as soon as possible. Sorry if i have mistakes in my writting , english its not my first language . Greetings.

O dude that's it, I just change it to preview CPU and Put transparency to the lines at 10% and it just works when I export it to PDF files on high resolution .. jajaja

So I'm going to make a different file export, for CPU, other for GPU, and other for Print just with the transparency changed for the thin lines so they match in every form. .............I didn't know about this preview thing and suddenly it all makes sense

AJjAjajaja Thank you very much Ton, you just save my life

I think the CPU preview and Acrobat is the most accurate preview.

For Print, you just have to test which one comes close to what you want.

If you open the pdf in Acrobat, go to the preferences and de-select Enhance thin lines:
