Another PDF authoring question: Subpixel Font Smoothing

The RuneQuest core rules PDF does this:

The Red Book of Magic does this:

Note the red and blue edging on the left and right of the first image, this is lighting up the individual R,G,B columns so as to give a smoother appearance on an LCD screen effectively trebling the horizontal resolution.

How come one PDF does it, and the other does not?

Right now I am preferring it not doing it as I am screen-capturing the spell description and printing cards and the red and blue tint is unnecessary (although to be honest I'm not noticing it in practice).

Ooh, I just found it can be turned off in Acrobat Reader!

Still... curious as to why one PDF was doing it when the other is not.
