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.

    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

    Thanks so much  Amal, I used your instructions to get rid of the blue grid lines and hey presto, they were gone. Appreciate your help and solution from 2019

      I have tried the uncheck, but it's still showing the grid lines. What am I doing wrong?

        Hi Suzan

         

        Hope you are doing well and sorry to hear that. Is this a behavior with a particular PDF file or with all the PDFs? Please try with a different PDF file and check.

         

        Also, make sure you have the recent version 22.1.20085 installed for Acrobat. Go to Help > Check for updates and reboot the computer once.

         

        Also try to repair the installation from the help menu (Win Only) and see if that works.

         

        You may also try to reset the Acrobat preferences as described here https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/how-to-reset-acrobat-preference-settings-to-default/td-p/4792082

         

        Also, try to create a new test user profile with full admin rights in Win or enable the root account in MAC and try using the application there and check.

         

         

        Regards

        Amal
