How can I get the Measure tool to show inches instead of feet-inches?

Right now, when I mark a dimension in a document, it comes out as feet inches. 1' 2" for example. I want it to only say 14". Where can I change this setting? In some documents I receive, it does inches only. In others, it does feet inches.

Hi @Ethan27009232v0d2

Hope you're doing well.

To change the measurement type, please change the following preferences settings.

Open Acrobat>Edit>Preferences>Unit & Guides> Page & Ruler Units. Change the Units to Inches.

To know more about the measurements, please go through this help article here: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/grids-guides-measurements-pdfs.html

Thanks,

Hello,

It is already set to inches. It still measures in feet inches.

Please share the document you're working with. We'd like to test the same at our end.

Also, share the exact version of Adobe Acrobat/Reader installer on your machine.

You are talking about the rulers on the side of the document he is asking about measurement markup tool. I have run into the same problem where i am asking is it possible for me to change the units displayed by the measurement tool. Right now it will display as 1.5 feet instead of 18"

Please advise.
