How do you change units of measure ChromeOS - Adobe View Chrome plugin

How do you change units of measure from inches to mm on ChromeOS devices, within Adobe View Chrome web plugin?
Ive tried setting the region on the device, and also in the plugin settings, but when I try to get the document info for Page Size, its always in inches. 
There are no preferences to set like in other versions of Reader where you can change the unit of measurement to the one you prefer.

Hello,

 

I hope you're doing well, and we apologize for the delayed response and the trouble. 

While Chrome OS does not natively support Adobe Acrobat, you can access and use most of its features on a Chromebook by installing the Adobe Acrobat extension from the Chrome Web Store, allowing you to open, edit, and sign PDFs directly within your Chrome browser. Note: Many features which are available on the desktop app, may not work on the Chrome OS. For more details, please see this article: https://adobe.ly/3D6cu5H

 

I hope this helps.

Thanks,

Anand Sri.

Thankyou for the response but this wasnt very helpful to the actual question asked.
Yes, some features you said may not be available, but where does this Chrome version of Acrobat get its region setting from or is it hard coded into the version of acrobat?
Most of the world works with the metric system, and my Chromebook is set to English Australia and it still shows as imperial measurements in Acrobat. I have tried setting other regions that also use metric measurements, but same issue.
If you can confirm if Acrobat does or does not follow the device's regional settings, then I know if it's a ChromeOS issue or a Acrobat issue. 
Please let me know so I can follow this up further.
Thankyou.
