When you Publish as PDF (or Export as PDF, it's the same) you hae some PDF presets to choose. According the PDF you use, the results will change. If you use PDF X/1a or PDF X/3 I'm sure that you don't have problems.
Btw, if I put the lines on top of the drop shadow instead of beneath it, then it looks normal (no zig-zag)
These are the settings that I have been all the while:
Compatibility Acrobat 4.0 is the culprit.PDF versions prior to 5.0 don't support transparencies and hence they are converted to bitmaps (including underlying objects).

Tottaly agree
had same issues in 9 version of Draw (max Acrobat 4 there)
always zigzag affects underlying objects
always use multiply / or in prior versions make CMYK black (c100m100y100k100)
so in X5 u ll not have any problem with 5+ compatibility
Hi Ronny, thanks for the answer.
I was wondering why I never notice about it as I have been using the same settings for at least 2 years. Maybe I was not paying enough attention to it.
Thanks again!
Ronny, but it happens even if I use 8.0?
