Show Grid / Snap to Grid
With Nitro PDF Pro one can use grids to assist you in precisely lining up links, form fields, and other objects on a page. When turned on, the grid is visible over your PDF pages; however, grid lines will not be printed when you print your document. You can also customize the grid's display, setting preferences such as default units, line color, spacing, and other options.
The Snap To Grid option aligns an object with the nearest intersection of lines in the grid. When you draw, re-size, or move an object, it will "snap to" the nearest intersection of lines, even if the grid is not visible.

- In the Guides group, click to select or clear the Show Grid check box.

To turn the Snap To Grid option on or off
