other areas of the page without changing the magnification level.

Do either of the following:
• Use the vertical scroll bars to move up and down the pages or the horizontal scroll bars to move across the page.
• Select the Hand tool in the Select & Zoom toolbar, or choose Tools > Select & Zoom > Hand Tool, and drag to
move the page, as if moving a piece of paper on a table.

Grids, guides, and measurements

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 computer-aided design (CAD) drawing, or when you want to measure certain areas of a document before sending
it to a professional printer. The measuring tools are available to Reader users only if the PDF creator enables
measuring functionality.
When you use a measuring tool, the tool dialog box displays the measurements of the line segments you draw.
