The troublesome lines I encounter in .pdfs are most often with the letters "l" & "I" (ex. lace & I am) no matter the typeface. Similar, small, vertical vector shapes are also affected. These specified letters appear as bold blocks; no additional lines are added.

I prepare my AI files in CS3 and view in Acrobat 8.0 or Adobe Reader 9.0 as follows:
1. flatten transparency
2. convert to outlines
3. save a copy as .pdf

I have noticed the mysterious line issue is inconsistent. Only some vertical vector shapes or "l"s are affected even when prepared the same way in a document.

Any new developments on the issue?
