Hey all I'm a n00b to adobe and hope someone can help me out. Using Acrobat 7 a we have one station that apparently is snaping in about 1/4" increments on the document. It makes all the lines marked up on the sheet nice and straight on perfect 45 degree angles ect. But most of the time it's just too much and we don't know how this got turned on in the first place so we can't turn it off.

Can anyone please tell me what function or setting I need to use to switch it back?

Thanks in advance
Russ

Look under the menu option "Edit => Preferences" "Page Display" category and uncheck the "Display Transparency Grid".

Ahhh... Thanks but no good. Checking/Unechecking it had no effect. The increments it's jumping around don't match. The Grid spacing seems to be relative while the snap increments are absolute.

It sounds like the "Snap to Grid" option for forms has been checked.

In the View menu uncheck "Snap To Grid", or use the keboard shortcut "Shif+Ctrl+U".
