It seems that all images I insert into acrobat have a border and I cant remove them. Border doesn't appear in other applications. !Acrobat

I am having this same issue, but just fixed it.  The border is called a "Bounding Box" and when you select "Edit PDF" the right side of the screen opens up with editing tools and options.  At the bottom, "Scanned Documents" section, there is a check mark box for "Show bounding boxes".  Uncheck this and the borders go away.

Are you sure it's a real border, and not just the border of the image object? Do you still see it if you switch to the Hand tool, for example?
