Question

Lines appear thicker than the rest when exported to PDF (print)

Hello,

I am working with ID CC 2018.

I am using Line tool on every page in my document in order to mark a new topic / paragraph.

All lines appear equal in ID document (as they should be), but when I export it to PDF (print), some of them appear thicker than the rest, even if I copy/paste the right thinner ones.

I have no idea what the reason could be...

Could you please help me?

P.S.: I haven't printed the document yet, maybe printed it will look as it should (?)

Thanks in advance!

Try the following

Edit> Transparency Flattener Preset

Convert all strokes to outlines

then when you convert to PDF (Print)

from Advanced section choose the preset you did.

Why would you be flattening transparency?

There's not a whole lot you can do about display issues. You can try some of the options in Acrobat but there's no assurance anyone else is going to use the same settings and you can't for them to.

And that doesn't even touch on the people not using Acrobat at all.
