Exported PDF has mysterious little crosses in it

What are these little crosses that are being inserted into my PDF? All the boxes for guides, bleeds, etc are not checked. I tried exporting as High Quality Print, etc. I can't find a way to get rid of them.

There are also L-shaped marks at the top. I haven't seen any at the bottom, but I think they're landing on black areas in an image.

Built a free PDF tool with 43 features after getting tired of paying for Adobe at my old job. 627 visits last month, no ads run yet.

I spent years at an admin job where every single PDF task meant either paying for Adobe or downloading some sketchy converter site that buried the real button under 6 fake download ads.

So I built PDFMasterPro. It's got 43 tools right now (merge, split, convert, image-to-text, edit) and all of it runs in the browser. No install, no email required to use most tools.

I haven't run a single ad. Just shared it with a few people and posted the link in a couple places. 627 visits in the last 30 days, which honestly shocked me for something I built solo.

Still very early (I'm the only confirmed signup so far, most people just use it and leave, which is fine by me). Trying to get to 1,000 weekly users before I add any paid tier.

If you've ever been stuck trying to merge scanned contracts or split a 200-page report without installing something shady, I'd genuinely love your feedback on what's missing.

Sign out of another device to continue

I have been a paid subscriber to Adobe Acrobat for nearly five years now. Suddenly within the last couple of weeks, I get this popup and am not allowed to use the software at all. I clicked the link and it took me to some website that wouldn't even load.

So I logged in another way and went to device management and confirmed that there were only two devices listed. I have the software installed on a Mac and a Windows computer.

So I contacted Adobe support. Want to know the brilliant solution they gave me?

Log out of my Adobe account inside the app on my Mac.

Excuse me, WHAT?!

Isn’t logging into your Adobe account how you USE THE SOFTWARE in the first place? You literally can't even do anything in Adobe apps without being logged in. And for the record, I DID NOT EVEN HAVE ADOBE OPEN ON MY MAC when I tried to use it on my Windows computer!

I have never had to do this before. Suddenly, I’m being blocked from using software I am paying for on a device I’m licensed to use, and the solution is to manually log out of another device even when the application isn’t running on it?? What kind of nonsensical user experience is this??
