Thin black (help) lines when using text boxes in illustrator

[hannev69328491]

Hi,

When i'm adding text boxes in Illustrator, there appear some thin black lines.
I can't switch them off and when i'm trying to save the file as PFD, the lines are still there...

Can somebody help me?

Thanks!

Hi hannev69328491​,

please show a screenshot with a selected textframe, the layers palette and the apperance palette.

It seems, your textframes does have an effect: Crop Marks

In this case: remove the effect

Have fun

Check the Appearance panel. This looks like Crop marks around the text box and the most probable version is that you have the Crop Marks effect applied.

Remove the Crop Marks effect (move it in the bin) or choose to Reduce to Basic Appearance command in panel menu. Make sure to set the new objects as having the Basic Appearance.
