Change Measure Tool Permanently to Metric

[Nikki5E56]

Hi, Can someone please advise if you can permanently change the measure tool to measure in metric? I know how to change it manually when using the tool but I want the default to be mm not inches. Thanks

Hi Nikki

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. As described you want to change the measurment unit to Milimeters permanentely

Please go to Edit (Windows), Adobe Acrobat (Mac) > Preferences > Units and Guids > change unit to Milimeter >Click OK and reboot the application.

Regards

Hi

I'm using an old Win 7 pc with Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 Extended for my printers. How do I set Acrobat to permanently show mm instead of inches? No matter what I try, every time I open a document, it has reverted to Imperial measurements instead of staying on metric.

Hi @Rod Cramb 

Acrobat 9 is an old and EOL application. For more information, please go through the help page https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/end-support-acrobat-8-reader.html
