Editing the dimention of rectangle in Acrobat pro

Question

Using acrobat pro. My requirement is to create a rectangle on a pdf file of specified dimentions. For example, even if I draw a reactangle free handedly, after giving 10*10mm lenghth & height, the rectangle should measure 10*10mm. After right clicking on rectangle it is allowing me to only change colour, line thickness, style etc. See the attached screenshot for better clarity.

You can do it with a script. Select the Rectangle and then run this code from the JS Console and it will be resized to 10x10mm, aligned to the top-left corner of the original:

var mm = 2.83465;
var myAnnot = this.getAnnots()[0];
var r = myAnnot.rect;
r[2] = r[0]+(10*mm);
r[1] = r[3]-(10*mm);
myAnnot.setProps({rect: r});
