Measure distance, perimeter, and area on maps
When you open a geospatial PDF, the Acrobat measuring tools read the geospatial information and measure distance
and area instead of page or object dimensions. Use the measurement tools to calculate distance, perimeter, and area
on any geospatially enabled PDF. As you move the mouse pointer over content in the document, snap markers are
shown that indicate that you are on a path or path end point. You can also see the latitude and longitude of your cursor
location when the mouse pointer is over geospatial content.
Choose Tools > Analysis > Measuring Tool

In the Measurement Tool display, select a measurement type: Distance
Select a snap-to option:

• Snap to midpoints
• Snap to intersections

Do one of the following:
• If you are using the Distance tool, click where you want to start the measurement, and then drag to the end point
and click again. The distance is displayed in the lower-right corner.
• If you are using the Perimeter tool, click the map in one corner of the perimeter, and then drag to each corner. Click
at each corner and then double-click at the end point. The information window displays the perimeter size.
• If you are using the Area tool, click the map at one corner of the area, and then drag to another corner. Click before
changing directions. Double-click at the end to display the total area.

To finish the measurement, right-click and select Complete Measurement. Or, select Cancel Measurement.
