HELP!

Please can someone walk me through how to view the grid lines on a PDF, using Adobe Acrobat Reader DC?

I have recently installed this program, and am aware that there is a way of overlaying a grid onto the documents, but cannot seem to access this feature?

Please see screen shot below of where I think I should be able to access this: View > Show/Hide > Rulers & Grids > Grid?

At the moment, I can only see Line Weights.

NOTE: I am not referring to the transparency grid - I need the grid overlay, to help to measure elements of the document (from a design perspective).

Thank you,

It is available in Adobe Acrobat, not Acrobat Reader.

I cannot see the "View" option at all in my version of Adobe Acrobat Pro on Windows 7. I'd tell you the version, but I can't pull down the menu to let you know as I can't view said menu...

This is the menu in question. It has opened a file I created and for the life of me, can't see that button. Any suggestions?

Thanks for all your help in this!

Sincerely -
Kevin

Nevermind. Figured it out. Because I hadn't saved it first, then reopened it - it wasn't giving me that option. I had just opened the .doc file from within Acrobat.
