Is there any way to remove "stitching" in Illustrator at all?

Tags:I've encountered a very common problem with thin white lines appearing in some of my vector imagery in Illustrator CS5.5. Like with most stitching errors, I get this when using shapes with gradient transparency. There's also some shape distortion happening depending on the level of zoom I'm on.
I understand that this may go away when printed but I actually intend to e-mail a portfolio PDF that contains these vectors which is meant to be viewed on screen. I have tried turning the transparency of the objects to 99% but the problem would not go away. I've tried disabling anti-aliasing which removes the white lines but makes the vector jagged and not smoothed. The shapes that I'm using comes from text that's been broken apart with gradient transparency added to some parts.
To get a better understanding of what I'm seeing, this is what it looks like. The top is what the image looks like in actual size and the bottom are zoomed up to further show how it looks like.
