Question

hairline border around pages in pdf

Hi there - Acrobat seems to add a hairline white border around every page, but only when the view option is set to Light Grey. If there really was a white line, it would show even more in the Dark Grey mode, and it doesn't. Nor does it show if I view in Mac Preview.

 

Why does Adobe do this?  Or better still, is there a fix. I've searched on here and tried lots of things already in preferences, but nothing seems to work. 

 

Many thanks

Steve

You should always give the version of Acrobat and the OS and version, so that potential helpers have that information at hand. If you could provide in addition a screenshot, showing the issue, that would be very helpful.

Thanks for the reply Abambo. Attached is a screenshot. I'm on Mac Sonoma 14.7 using Acrobat Pro 2022.002.20191.

 

The problem happens wherever colour bleeds right to the edge. It doesn't happen in the 'dark gray' views settings in Acrobat. Only in the 'lIght gray' setting.  Nor does the line increase in thickness if I zoom in. It's always a hairline, so it's definitely something to do with how Acrobat displays things. Looking at the same document in Preview on my Mac, it doesn't show the hairline. 

Any ideas? I've seen a few people on here ask about this, but not been able to find a solution. 

Thank

Steve

Unfortunately I'm not a Mac user, I'm an iPad user and the application differs. But may by one of our Mac gurus has an answer. For now I would recommend to ignore that hairline. I know it's not great, but it's best I can offer.
