Just to clear up any confusion, the trouble is not with printing to a PDF file as micropod stated:

"I just tried 'printing' your document to PDF and didn't get the spurious lines your PDF shows."

I also do not get the spurious lines when printing to a PDF, I only get them when I print to the office copier.

The pdf I attached is a scan of a Word document, created using the template, printed from Word to the office copier. It just so happens that when I scan a printed document the default file format is PDF.
