Problem with export to jpeg

Hi,

I'm new to Illustrator but I'm beginning to like it more and more. However,
I can't seem to solve a problem that I'm having when exporting to jpeg.
Suppose I have a simple black rectangle, I export to jpg and the jpeg looks
great except that it has a white line on the right edge of the graphic. If
I were using that jpg by itself it would probably not even be noticed but
I'm using it on my website next to another jpeg of the same color and the
line shows up visually separating the two graphics.

Right now, I have to go into Photoshop and change the color of the line
manually but that's really tedious as I have quite a few to do. Is there
any way to fix this so Illustrator exports the graphic properly?

Thanks,
Ryan

Thanks Paul,

I always had a problem converting a vector drawing to raster: part of the
details disappear on the edges. Fine details get squared out.
What I do is open the EPS in Photoshop, set the dpi, no anti-aliasing and
save as PSD.
To solve the problem I add a square larger than the drawing with no fill and
no stroke. It becomes a job when I have hundreds of files to export.
My concern is always on large number if files, just this week I have to do
the export of over two thousand files, all different size.

Is there a way to add automatically some space around the drawing or to
avoid the trimming?

Thanks
Alfredo

P.S.: I can't find "snap to pixel" anywhere in the view menu.
