I just began learning illustrator so please excuse my ignorance.

I created this design in illustrator:

My question pertains to the cause and fix of the white lines appearing on the text:


I exported the image for screens in the formats PDF, SVG, and PDF.
The white lines appear only in the SVG and PDF versions when opened in browsers (chrome, firefox, edge) and in Adobe Acrobat. They appear only slightly when pasted into a Photoshop document.

The PNG version does not contain these errors.

I've tried messing with the format settings in the export menu for the SVG and PDF versions but the lines persist no matter what.

My understanding is that this is only an issue with the way these images are rendered on screen as the lines are not present when I tried printing the image.

Is there any way I can get rid of the lines so I can use the SVG version for a responsive website? I want to avoid having to use a PNG as much as possible.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yeh Illustrator's 3D does this. The reason for the white lines is basically the same issue described in Objects do not align precisely in Illustrator CC and Image looks embossed when converted to SVG and Space between 2 paths in Illustrator and the reason for Is there a reason Hillary Clinton's logo has hidden notches? ...and countless other previous Q&As.

The easiest solution:


Duplicate the shapes
Merge them in to a single shape using Pathfinder
Set them to an appropriate color
Place them behind the original


Or you could give the shapes a stroke, or use the Offset Path command (or effect), or overlap the shapes in some other way. You basically either need to overlap the shapes or place them on a background of a better color.
