Weird grid lines showed up, how do I turn off?

My PDFs have this grid on and I have no idea why it started, but I would like to turn it off.

Amal,

Great, thank you for the answer.

I also used " Ctrl+U "

 

Hi mike,

 

Thanks for reaching out. A described above, you want to turn off the grid in the PDF.

 

Please try the following settings:

 

Open the PDF > Go to View > Show/Hide > Rulers & Grids > Uncheck, Grid.

 

Let us know how it goes

 

Regards

Amal

I share the frustration; how did the grids get turned on to begin with?  So frustrating.  I wish Adobe would just display it's menu as it has in the past ... instead of putting everyone through Adobe school.

Phew!  This worked for me....I didn't even know that was a feature.  I noticed that you can turn the grids on/off by using the CTRL+U keyboard shortcut.  That's what I must have done because I was attempting to underline a word on my form, i.e the CTRL+U toggles underlining in most MS Office apps.....apparently not in Adobe.
