Stamp and typewriter tool won't stay where I put them

Hello,

I've been using this program for years and never had this problem and then suddenly out of the blue I'm having this problem. When I select the typewriter tool to type something onto a pdf document, and then place the marker and left click, the cursor is actually placed well above where I intended. The same for stamps. Prior to the problem I could move a stamp around smoothly and place it almost anywhere. No it seems it only allows it in certain "spaces" and if I attempt to place it elsewhere it jumps over or up. Any ideas?

Thanks

Rob

Have I stumped the acrobat community? It has me stumped. I used the software to perform a repair and no luck. The typewriter tool was very useful prior to this but now with this problem it is almost useless.

I figured it out. The 'ol snap to grid turned on somehow trick.

Thanks for posting your solution -- I don't think I've run across this yet for stamps but I have for form fields.
