Ghost Lines WILL NOT GO AWAY!

I am working on a logo for a customer and after a lot of hard work, i saved my file as a pdf, opened it up and saw ghost borders around each shape that completely ruins the picture. This problem only happens when you save it as any vector file and i simply cannot send this to my customer without her being incredibly confused. I have checked every solution on here with no luck, I have attached a google drive link with my AI file and PDF export  https://drive.google.com/openid=1DoZVASxxwnVdAV4GvFBVFGCa6jCKLpIu

I agree with Ton and Monika. I see no sign of the problem in Illustrator or Acrobat, but it does show up with the antialiasing in Apple Preview. I still see it if I put a solid color in back of it. But: if you copy the circle of multi-colored shapes, paste in back, and rotate it by two or three degrees, the problem goes away in Preview.

You may try to add a filled circle in the background, (I added a rectangle), which seems to please Preview.

The problem is that those dark lines in between the cells, on illustrator, there is no lines whatsoever, all i can do is reduce them after they are exported. This cant be the case that illustrator always displays these lines after saving it for a client, right?

Did you try to add a dark filled circle in the background?

The problem is with Apple Preview. Did you try Acrobat to view it?

It looks fine when viewed with Adobe Acrobat (Reader).

But looks bad in Apple Preview, which is not the best to view PDF files.
