Visible mesh edges in PDF output of 3D graphic

Consider the following plot:
graphicTest= ContourPlot3D[{h==0,g==0},{x,-2,2},{y,-2,2},{z,-2,2}, MeshFunctions->{Function[{x,y,z,f},h-g]}, MeshStyle->{{Thick,Black,Opacity[1]}}, Mesh->{{0}}, ContourStyle->{ Directive[Orange,Opacity[.5],Specularity[White,30]], Directive[Purple,Opacity[.3],Specularity[Green,30]]}, PlotPoints->30, Boxed->False, (*Axes->False,*) BoxRatios->Automatic, PlotRange->{All,All,{-2,2}} ]
Then export it as a PDF and look at it in a PDF viewer (insert your directory path at <<<your directory path here>>> to make this work):
Export["<<<your directory path here>>>/ testGraph.pdf",graphicTest,"PDF"]//SystemOpen
Look at the resulting PDF. You will see the lattice of the underlying plot mesh visible. Is there any way to get rid of this? Note that I expect to see the fasceted nature of the graphic, but the explicit differently colored edges are not desired.
