Which Acrobat shows the trim size of a PDF which is supplied with bleed

I have Acrobat X but can't find the size of the PDF supplied with bleed as they are often US A4 or non-standard rather than UK A4. Which Acrobat do I need to see the 'View Page Boxes' ?

Acrobat Pro offers the Tools > Print Production > Set Page Boxes feature.

Both Acrobat Reader and Acrobat Pro have a Preferences > Page Display > Show art, trim & bleed boxes (however this is just visual).

You can also add a javascript file to Acrobat Reader to list the page boxes of the current page:
