PDF exported by Keynote on Acrobat Reader

Hi,

I discovered that every presentation I export in PDF from Keynote has problems when read on Adobe Acrobat Reader. There are some fine black borders around objects.

Here is an exemple of a slide with a text and two png images. You can see that there is no problem in Keynote or Preview but the problems appear in Adobe Acrobat Reader both on Windows and Mac (less visible).

Original Keynote

PDF in Preview on Mac

PDF in Acrobat Read on Mac

PDF in Acrobat Reader on Windows

Do you have any idea ?

Thanks

Try the following:

do not apply drop shadow to these shapes in Keynote
set Image Quality to Best in PDF export settings.

Hi Gary,

There is no drop shadow applied to these shapes and the Image Quality of the PDF has been set to Best.

Any other idea ?

Thanks

I don't have the issues that you described.

If you post to Dropbox a single slide Keynote file with the content you showed I can see what happens when I export to pdf on my system.

I can see grey aliasingpixels at 400% in Adobe reader, but they are invisible at 100%.
