Rulers, Guides, Line Weights and Measurements
 Foxit PDF Reader provides horizontal and vertical Rulers and Guides under the View
tab to help you align and position texts, graphics, or other objects on the page. They
can also be used to check their size and the margins of your documents.

 By default, Foxit PDF Reader displays lines with the weights defined in the PDF file.
You can uncheck Line Weights in View > View Setting > Page Display list to turn off
the Line Weights view (i.e. to apply a constant stroke width (1 pixel) to lines, regardless
of zoom) to make the drawing more readable.
 The Measure commands under the Comment tab enable you to measure distances,
perimeters, and areas of objects in PDF documents. When you select a measurement
tool, the Format panel will be called out and displayed on the right side of the
document pane, which enables you to calibrate the scale ratio and specify settings
related to measurement rulers and results. While measuring objects, you can choose
the Snap tools in the Format panel to snap to a particular point along an object for
more accurate measurement results. When measurement completes, choose Export
in the Format panel to export the measurement information.
