Borders not showing on file saved as a PDF

I have several documents that I have created with lots of borders - they are report cards for our school. When I save them as a PDF some of the borders do not show in the PDF.

I have tried turning all of the borders off and reapplying them

I have tried turning off the top / bottom / side borders and turning them back on in the specific area with the issues

I am using Word 2016 on a Windows 10 and a Windows 11 computer

  • Kevinmod The issue is with the application with which you are viewing the pdf.  In Adobe Acrobat, at a magnification of 125%, some of the borders do not appear

     

    But, at 150%, they do

    If the pdf is opened in Google Chrome, the borders are rendered correctly at 100%

    and, it is not until you reduce the size to <75% that some of the borders do not appear

      Thanks Doug. I am new to this forum and not seeing a place to upload a file - only a place to share links. I work in a Google school so the best I can do is share this folder with anyone  with the link can view
