See attached screenshot, these lines appear in the same place on every spread when viewed in preview mode of InDesign CC 2015 - how do I fix this??

    Hi @Bim_H -

    I came here looking for an answer to the same question, but in tinkering just figured it out.

    Turn off Overprint Preview then try presentation mode again.

    I had the exact problem you have in the screenshot. I can replicate it repeatedly now. When Overprint Preview is turned on, white lines. Turn it off, white lines gone. You have to do it outside of presentation mode.

      Looks like stitching. Did you use Acrobat 4 compatibility when exporting?

      If so, stop! Use 5 or higher.

        This is not a pdf, this is happening inside InDesign presentation/preview mode! So confused as to why this is happening. It is happening across all my design docs.

        Okay, sorry.

        What kind of image is that in the background? PDF? PSD? TIF?

        Do the lines go away if you zoom in or out?
