yes, I see the problem. it is indeed strange but I think it is the result of the fact that each cell is painted independently and even though they touch each other (the common edges of adjacent cells have exactly the same coordinates) the viewer (and apparently your printer) create an "artificial" line in between.

maybe this will need to be revisited one day... in any case, in your particular example you probably can get around the problem by doing things differently. maybe putting the background color in the side region instead of giving a background color to the cells of the table.

    Please find attached a new fo which defines the sidebar for the

    separating each row, at least in Evince 3.4.0 (using
    poppler/cairo(0.18.4))

    Rob, I looked with more time at this issue and I think that my
    previous statement that I was seeing lines where they should not
    be was incorrect. I think they should be there because they are
    in the *fo source!

    It is true that no lines appear with Adobe, but they are visible
    both with Mac's Preview and Linux's Evince. But the lines are
    only in the column that does not spans rows, the one with the
    blue background. I do not see them in the column that spans
    rows. More than that I do not see any unexpected drawing
    commands in the PDF source.

    Can you please explain again what lines are you seeing in the
    printer output? Are they in the blue column or in the white column?

    We use iText as well as FOP in producing our printable

    graphics look better that way).  When the black background is
    under the sidebar (as made with the referenced sidebar.fo
    <http://sidebar.fo>) the nuisance-some inter-cell lines expose
    the black underlay. (Our fix is to not put the black under the
    sidebar.)

        I suspect it's once
        more Adobe's anti-aliasing to be blamed. And this won't
        show up in print,
        BTW. To get rid of this on display, go to Acrobat's
        Preferences Dialog,
        select "Page Display" and enable "Enhance Thin Lines" (AR
        X) or disable
        "Smooth line Art". You may have to disable "Use 2D graphics
        acceleration",
        too. Nothing FOP can do at the moment. I've recently
        explained on this
        list what would need to be done to work around "Adobe's
        problem".

    Since there is a path whereon they do show up in print, I
    wonder if this suggested work-around should be revisited? It's
    not clear to me that this is still out of FOP's hands?

    Thank you for your indulgence,

        I have reviewed the sidebar.fo <http://sidebar.fo> and it
        really cannot be substantially reduced. It simply fills
        the "outer edge" of our pages - region-start or region end
        - with a narrow two-column, five-row table stretching the
        length of the page.  The inner column is just spacer and
        the outer column gets the section name(s) and number, a
        rule and a page number. The names are supplied in a
        rotated svg (not included).
