word table borders displaying erratically in PDF

I am having some issues with Table borders in the finished PDF.

OS:  Win10

Word--Office 365 ProPlus

Acrobat 11.0.23

Have a file with a table. The table has borders. When I PDF the doc and open the PDF, random horizontal borders are missing.  They print properly, though.

Same result with using the PDF printer and the Word Save as PDF plugin.

There are multiple posts with similar issues, but I haven't seen any solutions.

Here's how the table looks in Word:

Here's how it looks in Acrobat (And Reader, and MS Edge):

Table 2.png

Any suggestions?

Two solutions that have worked well for me:

1) Set all table/cell margins to 0 and then use line spacing to achieve the desired result. (Suggested by Luke Grayson)

2) Save file as .odt > open file with LibreOffice > save as PDF (this could be quicker if you have lots of tables which you don't want to have to adjust spacing etc.)

LibreOffice method did it for me! Thanks, 

Didnt have to mess around with modifying my tables, which were all done intentionally with spacing and margins to make it look right. Wish Office would fix this. Thanks to LibreOffice for the solution here
