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.

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
