I'm sure it's a rendering issue.  But it didn't happen when I was using
NeoOffice,
and I'd like to find out what's different in the PDF to cause it, to see if
I can work
around the problem.

Not for me -- they get clearer and sharper as I zoom in. I'll attach an
excerpt from a screenshot.

When I originally posted this problem I didn't have access to a color printer
because I was travelling.
Now I'm home and when I print either directly from LibreOffice or via Export
PDF and then Preview,
there are no white lines.  But they're clearly visible on the screen, and
they aren't grid lines or tiling
problems; they are far from evenly spaced.

But since it seems to print correctly, I guess I should downgrade this from
a deal-killer to an annoyance.
I'll report back if it prints incorrectly on the commercial 11x17 full bleed
printer I'll be using for the
final document.  Thanks, all!

Thank you all for your suggestions.  I, too, see a grid in some readers
(e.g., Evince on Linux) but it's not a
grid of sharp white lines; it's just a noticeable artifact of tiling the
background (sand.jpg from the LibreOffice
gallery).  Apparently its edges don't join smoothly; it wasn't (virtually)
printed on a torus and then sliced.
I think this is a separate problem from my very crisp 100% white
horizontal-only lines.

I was kind of hoping someone would declare this an official LibreOffice bug
and fix it, or come up with
a good workaround.  I don't want to have to redo the whole project in Adobe
Illustrator or something.

[libreoffice-users] Unwanted horizontal white hairline rules in PDF in Mac Preview

2011-12-01 Thread bh
I just switched from NeoOffice to LibreOffice on my Mac.  LibreOffice is much
more reliable!  I was getting mysterious
disappearances of pictures in NeoOffice and have had no such problems since
the switch.

But one new problem is that when I export a PDF and then view it in Preview
(in MacOS 10.6.8), there are full-width
hairline white horizontal rules aligned with the top edge of some JPGs in
the document.  These rules don't appear when
I view the document in Adobe Reader, but they do seem to appear when I
/print/ even from Adobe Reader.  So I'm
guessing the exported PDF has some not-quite-standard feature that isn't
working in MacOS.

An example is at http://cs.berkeley.edu/~bh/bug.pdf

Thanks!
