Is there a way to change the precision on the measurement tool?

It is currently set at 0.01", but i'd like to get a more accurate number than that.

Hi,

Version 2019.021.20061

I saved the file as a PDF from Adobe Illustrator.

When you use the measure tool, in Acrobat, There is a small box that appears in the bottom right corner of the screen. it states the Precision in the box. I'm just wondering if there is a way to fine tune the percision so that i can measure more accuratly on a PDF with the measure tool. It's defaulted to .01" but i've like to measure with a smaller accuracy.

Hi,

With your document opened, select the measuring tool

Right-click on any empty area of the document and from the context menu select "Change Scale Ratio and Precision"

From the next dialogue box that will pop up, select from the pulldown menu the precision that you need from the pre-selected items on that list
