ArcGIS Pro – How to Export Map PDF with Extra Colored Lines

arcgis-prolayoutspdf

I am exporting map to pdf using ArcGIS Pro at 600 dpi resolution. The exported map is coming with some thin colored lines.
I tried to export same map to png it appeared fine.

Am i missing something here regarding export settings for pdf ?

I have an interpolated raster these lines are reflecting the colors of that raster.

When i un-check that raster then it prints pdf fine.

I cannot include complete map screen shot but i am including the area where i dont have data. See the green lines in image.

When i select these blocks and right click i get the option to copy image. Seems like different small images have been stitched to generate this pdf.

One of the issue is with the transparency of raster

Other issue is that ArcGIS Pro while exporting map to pdf do not have option to rasterize(ArcGIS Pro will get this in 2.3 version)

The solution of this problem is instead of sharing it as a pdf, Use the Print option print to file and while printing, Select Microsoft print to pdf. This results in rasterized map in pdf and it appears fine.

Update Now you have the option in version 2.3
