Table in pdf report has unexpected thin lines

When I generate a pdf, these thin lines appear in every column except the last one. I can't seem to remove them unless I remove the vertical lines. This only appears in the pdf. In Power Bi the horizantal lines are not visable. Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

 

Additional Information:

This is the oringial post. I was able to post picture describing the issue.

To Clarify, the table in quesiton is a standard table with Vertical lines on and Horizontal line off. When displayed in Power Bi, every looks fine. The PDF Report, however, shows very thin Horizonial lines which have the follow qualities:

1. Thin lines are the same color as the Vertical lines

2. They exist for every row and in every column except the last column, regardless of the number of columns.

3.  When I turn off the Vertical lines, the thin Horizontal lines go away.

Hi! Not sure if you've figured it out yet but my workaround for this was just turning the border on and setting the transparency slider to 100%. It worked. No thin lines when exporting to PDF.

@BrainyHornetdid you resolve this issue? If so, how? I'm facing the same problem. No lines in Power BI, but when I export it to pdf they appear

I cheated. Bought larger monitors and screenshot the image then PDF it. Work for me.

Thanks for the reply Jimmy, but I want the Vertical line not the Horizantal lines.

@BrainyHornet ,

 

Make sure the vertical grid option has been disabled.
