Problems exporting graphics with a pattern

I created a pattern in Illustrator, when I export as a PDF a white line appears. How can i fix it?

It is important to note that this also happens with the patterns I created in the past, and there was no problem with them before, the problem appeared about a month or two ago.

Another way to check if it is an anti-aliasing problem is to turn off Smooth Line Art in Acrobat Preferences Page Display.

Thanks for your reply Ton Frederiks
Unfortunately, the problem is not in the display, it also appears in the print, on every pattern I create.

I have to solve this and I'm going crazy 😞

It goes right where the tile is

It is probably an anti-aliasing artefact, could be caused by the pattern not perfectly aligned to the pixelgrid.

Do they appear/disappear when zooming in and out?

You can also check your pattern tile size.

Set your units to pixels, double click the pattern in the Swatches panel and check if the Width/Height values contain fractions.
