Synchrotron radiation produces a continuous nonthermal spectrum. Absorption lines are only produced by gas clouds which have been heated up by some incoming radiation.
See for yourself:

Scroll down a bit and it shows a graph of the spectrum for various conditions of Synchrotron radiation. It it was just absorption lines, it'd just look like a bunch of spikes. That is clearly a continuous line.
