Do you have your units set in the Units section of your Illustrator Settings (Preferences) as shown in the screenshot below?

Try doing this setting and then after saving the document quitting Ilustrator. When you relaunch Illustrator is the setting still intact?

What is the size of your document? Can you share your PDF export settings?
