I'd like to report a problem. All my PDF documents have started showing a checkered background (like a chessboard pattern) for some time now. I've searched everywhere but haven't found a solution. Have you any solution ?

Re: CHESSBOARD PATTERN on background
Thank you very much for your quick response and tip regarding this feature.
I don't know when I clicked on it or how I managed to turn it on. That solves my problem.
You guys are great.
If you happen to know, could you please tell me what this feature is for? Or what it is used for?

Hi,
It’s a transparent grid — a visual indicator that shows where there is no background and where the background is white. This is especially important when preparing content for print, as it helps ensure that colors are rendered precisely and the layout appears exactly as intended.
