Prevent Edges Around Object From Printing

Hello I am making a book cover.  I have the stroke set to 0 for the front cover and spine, but they have a thin gray border when I export to Acrobat.   They don't appear in InDesign.   
I do not want any border on the final product -- only the color black.
Attached is the .indd file and a screenshot of the gray border in the exported PDF.

Any suggestions?
Thank you.

It's just an artefact from Acrobat trying to show edges. 

 

Place your PDF in InDesign - in the middle of white page - then switch to Preview - like I did in my example.

What is your zoom level?

 

This is your PDF placed back into a new INDD file:

And 4000% zoom:

Hello,
     Thank you for replying to me!!!
     Perhaps I am missing something.  I assume the PDF export is how it will appear when it prints.  If this is correct, there is a thin gray border around the spine and front cover.  Attached is the exported PDF.
     The thin gray border is easily visible at 100% zoom.  
     Also attached is a screenshot of the border at 6400%, for clarity.
     Thank you again for your interest and evaluation!
