I am creating a PDF for printing, and I got some weird artifacts on places where elements with the same color overlap.
My workflow is from Illustrator to InDesign to PDF, and to be honest I dont know where the problem comes from.
Here is a screenshot of what I mean :
Here you can see it on the brownish-beige part
Here is another one where you can see that they are really overlapping
The lower beige part is on top of the upper one, whose green outlines you can see
The weird thing is, it depends on the actual Zoom level whether or not you see the line. How can I get rid of this? I am scared this will be visible on the print later on...
INSERT: These screenshots are from Illustrator CC2017.1.0 on Mac. The problem is visible also in InDesign, Acrobat and Adobe reader. The problematic shapes are only simple paths - one triangle and one half circle.

If it Starts from Illustrator given it is a vector file. Can you check if the shape that have same color separated from each other? If Yes Merge them with Path Finder or Shape Builder Tool to eliminate that line.
A. Select the upper and lower path; then Pathfinder>Unite
B. Select the upper and lower path; Shift+M then Click and Drag to the two Separated Shapes
If it is not separated in vector or Ai format; based on my experience I guess the problem is the exporting from InDesign to PDF. Check your PDF Settings maybe it is low PDF type that it it chop some files. But surprisingly it is the only shape affected and the others are Okay. :-)
