I shut off everything in snapping but do not check the turnoff snap box. 

If zoomed in, the lines still seem to snap to some imaginary grid or via some other rules. 

I check turn off snapping. This resolves the problem, but now I can't snap. 

What is revit snapping to? Bug?

What version are you using? What are you trying to do? Will you share a screenshot of your snap settings? Do you have a DWG imported or linked that warned about exceeding 20 miles threshold for extents?

 

At any given time you can temporarily disable Snapping with the stock keyboard shortcut "SO". If "snapping" still happens it would help to know specifically what task you're in the middle of to be able to test it too.

In your Snap Settings your Object Snap options are on but you've just turned off the snap increments options.

 

Snap Increments define how Revit will display feedback for length or angles. Zoom very close and you get smaller increments and zoom farther away and larger increment values are displayed. For example, sketch a wall from far away and the length value displayed will be in 4 foot increments as you increase the distance from the first pick point and your current cursor location.

 

To stop Revit snapping to something as much you need to remove the Object Snap options. For example, choosing Snap Nearest is quite helpful but it will snap much more often to things Revit "sees" beneath your cursor.

 

I don't use PDF inside Revit very much myself. What happens when you turn them off so they aren't in the view...different snapping behavior?
