Show Ruler and Guides on Startup

Report · Jul 12, 2016

Hello, Is there a way to default Acrobat DC to show the Ruler and Guides on startup, instead of having to select it every single time?

Hi TownofDerry ,

I want to mention that currently there is not an option to view Rulers and Guides on startup by default, however you can press Ctrl+ R on your keyboard to view Rulers easily. You can also request for this feature here : Feature Request/Bug Report Form

Thank You!

i appreciate this thread … but, see no such evidence. the first link ashumittal posted contains no reference to any "show-ruler" pref … also noted the #rulerPreference anchor in the url … but, again, no boomerang. guess i will just have to rely on adobe's "ctrl+ r" command.

edit:

i stand corrected … the program does seem to offer the feature (prefs/units/guides) … the ruler momentarily appears, but then quickly disappears. might be due to the mac-osx i am using.

fwiw … the link cited above should actually be:

What's new in Adobe Acrobat DC 2017 releases

… and the ruler still disappears.
