Measure Tools

documents. The measure tools are especially useful when you need to know the
distances or areas associated with objects in a form or computer-aided design (CAD)

a professional printer. The measure tools are available to users only if the PDF creator
enables measuring functionality.
When you use a measure tool, the tool dialog box displays the measurements of the
line segments you draw.
