Whenever I convert in Inkscape to .pdf my valley/mountain fold lines have very thin light grey lines udnerneath them, visible on a grey (colored) background.

The strange thing is: this only shows on Acrobat. When I look at my .pdf-files on my Macbook or iPhone I don't see these lines... I have used several computers with Acrobat reader and they all seem to have the same problem...

Very often when I print from Acrobat Reader the grey lines are printed also. Does anyone know what causes this and how to convert to .pdf without these ugly lines?

For an example: see the X-Mas book. My kiwi is in there...

Not sure why that is. It happens to me too.

is there any way to prevent it???

Probably. I'll try something.
ps. Your diagrams look great anyway.

Yeah but it annoys me they are not printed in 100% perfection.... grrr

Sorry, can't find any solutions. I'll keep looking though.

it only seems to occur on colored (grey) surfaces... is there a way to change the background of the dashed lines to grey also. This way the spaces between the dashed are grey too...

and why does a Mac not show the grey lines???

Ah. I know why that happens! You have used the 'fill' (or something similar) tool and it stops at the dashes. Then you use it again on the opposite sidd and a tiny line appears, which keep the two apart.
Am i right? If you don't understand what i'm saying, i can make a video on it?

This is probably how you did it...

Not sure that is the solution. The problem only seems to occur after I have exported the svg file to pdf. And only in Acrobat Reader. The Mac pdf-reader does not show the lines....

Well, that's how i did...

Here's what I mean:

Sorry, but i'm not sure why that is.

There is now an open PDF standard. Sadly Adobe ignores that standard and therefore Adobe Acrobat handles some files wrong. Foxit-reader is the better pdf-reader under windows any-ways.
