Measure the height, width, or area of objects
The Measuring toolbar contains tools you can use to measure distances and areas of objects in PDF documents. The
measuring tools are especially useful when you need to know the distances or areas associated with objects in a form
or CAD drawing, or when you want to measure certain areas of a document before sending it to a professional

When you use a measuring tool, the tool dialog box displays the measurements of the line segments you draw.
