Difference in PDF page size when using Save versus Save As

I am having a problem when I save PDFs from Illustrator with the page size changing

.

When saving as a PDF from Illustrator CC (Mac OS 10.6.8) the page size of the resultant PDF should be the size of the artboard.

Create New File

Save as PDF (Illustrator Default setting)

Open PDF in Acrobat

The page size equals the size of the artboard

 

Open same file back into Illustrtor

Edit the file in some way (draw a box outside of the artboard)

Reopen the file back into Acrobat, now the Page size is different from the artboard.

 

If I resave the file using save as, essentially overwriting the old file, the artboard is back as it should be.

 

It is almost as if Save As is using the artboard, but Save uses artwork bounds.

 

This appears to be a glitch but I have not been able to isolate the cause. Tried trashing prefs, didn't help. Had th same problem in CS5, couldn't figure it out then either, so I don't think this is version specific problem.

 

This problem is specific to my workstation, as my co-workers do not have the same problem, unless they start working on a file I created. Could be some kind of virus like problem.

 

Anyone had expeirences with this issue? I had really hoped upgrading to CC would have cleared this up but it seems to be following me, which is why I thought trashing prefs would have cleared it up.
