How to put the page size in the lower left corner of the screen

This feature was available in Preferences in Adobe XI, but either no longer there or very well hidden. I frequently have large documents with multiple page sizes. The odd page sizes will stop a print job, wasting paper and time.

Is this feature still available and, if so, where is it, please?

I know I can hover my mouse over the lower left corner to get the size, but this is not practical with 100+ page documents.

Thanks!

Correct answer oylaura

I figured it out - it turns out the Edit/Preferences function is there, but if you have chosen a different color scheme, i.e., gray or dark gray, the title row at the top is displayed as white text on a white background, therefore invisible. Once I hovered the mouse over the title bar, the options became visible and I was able to show the page size on the bottom of the page portion of the screen.

I felt like an idiot, but it works now.

Thanks for all your support!

Now if only I can figure out how to mark this as "answered", my day will be made!
