How to view a document's surface area in Adobe Acrobat (e.g. in cm²)?

Question

Hello, I work at a printing office that often deals with large architectural plans. We charge by surface area, and although adobe displays the dimensions of a document we still have to calculate the surface area of it by hand, costing us valuable time. (e.g. height * width * price)

I'd like to know if there's a function in Acrobat that can automatically calculate the document's surface area and display it at a glance like it does with height and width.

If anyone can help with this it'd be greatly apreciated!

I don't believe so, but a script can be written to display it in an alert window (when you click a button). It can even include the price in it, either as a fixed value or as a prompt where you enter it each time.

If you're interested in hiring a professional to create it for you, feel free to contact me privately by clicking my user-name and then on the blue "Message" button.
