I have exactly the same problem and I find it is specifically when raster effects like drop shadow or feather are used.

I think its important to not that these lines don’t appear on the final printed material. That doesn’t help me when I’m exporting for screen…

I tend to print to pdf instead of saving to pdf as this keeps the file size down somewhat. The preserve editing capabilties isn’t available in the print dialogue as far as I know. Expoting to jpeg, then re-exporting to pdf from photoshop is simply not a very practical option in my workflow.

Any other tips would be most appreciated.

Convert the paths to outlines. Select and then go to: Object – Path – Outline Stroke.

If that doesn’t do the trick then go to (with the object selected): Object – Expand.

If you open the panel drop down (arrow top right of panel) you’ll find “layer options” at the bottom of the menu. Click that and then uncheck “show layers only”.

As far as I know this isn’t possible. Would be AWESOME if someone could prove me wrong.

It means that you can then align items to the selected (bold) object without that object moving.
