The only ways I know how to avoid it in Office products is to know where
what causes it. If you insert a picture, or chart there is a rounded border
around the thing you just inserted, sometimes the rounded borders is a few
pixels or more wider than this. When you convert it to a PDF, the engine
sees two objects, the image/chart/etc, and the background to the
placeholder (rounded border). So shrinking the border to be the same width
as the object minimizes the need to be so careful when selecting as Duff
mentioned.
