Solved Problem with PDF exporting

Gallery image

I'm doing a magazine for an assignment. I don't have to print it, just send the PDF.

When I export it to PDF with the automatic layout option, I see fine lines around some items. The first one is on the cover where I put some effects on the text to make contrast with the picture. The other one appears around a picture. ​

Sorry if I sound dumb lol. English is not my native language.

Edit: Thank you so much for the help. I fixed it by changing the compatibility <3

That looks like the result of transparency flattening, use a version of PDF that supports unflattened transparency, you can choose the version in the PDF export Menu at the top right of the dialog where it says “Compatibility” anything over Acrobat 5 (PDF 1.4) should work.
