Problem with Creating PDF from Revit

I encountered a problem with PDF creation from Revit sheet. Some details lines show a thinner green line on top of actual line. ​The Revit is 2021. PDF driver is Bluebeam. I've tried with CutePDF writer but the result is the same.

Much better but still a few green lines...

Same spot as in my original post:

Of course it only eliminates the green line where there is a black line in the same place.  If there is a gap then the green line still shows through.

 

Here is a side by side for your comparison:

Thanks. Do you know how these green lines generated? I checked that there are no duplicate lines in the view.

Wait, are you saying the green lines don't exist in Revit but PDF?  If so, I would need to see the Revit file.

Thanks again. Unfortunately it's a confidential project and I can't upload anything from it to the forum.

Fair enough.

What is that element with the black square grid lines?

Those are just detail lines in a section view representing structural reinforcement.  We don't include reinforcement in the 3D model.

The screenshot below is from the view in Revit. The shading is the wall I highlighted.

What are the View's Discipline and Show Hidden Lines?

It's architectural and shows all hidden lines. I stepped into this project from nowhere. Previous modeler left the company last year. It's a stop-n-go painful bilingual project.

Change Show Hidden Lines to By Discipline, reprint and see what gets you.
