Why the stroke shown as gridlines after saving a vector file in pdf or svg from illustrator?

Is that really stroked or are these objects close to each other?

Maybe you can merge them into a single shape with the Pathfinder or dragging with the Shape builder tool.

they look like very thin strokes. What do you have there, really? If there are objects with "zero" strokes, the best way will be to combine the same-colored elements with Pathfinder, like Ton suggests. If they have the thin strokes, do you actually need them?

Thanks for your support..

They are manually traced with normal pen and I have to trace between the fill section and when I vector it completely, this gridlines doesn't show in illustrator but after saving the file it appears in it.

It's a live paint object.

You need to expand the live paint and then hit "Merge" in the Pathfinder panel.

 

Merge is in the bottom row, not to be confused with Unite.

Is this normal? or I'm doing something wrong?

Maybe you could show the artwork before and after? The Merge command should not change stuff when all paths are outlined
