Hello,

Jordan here from Tetra4D, an Adobe certified partner for converting CAD data to 3D PDF.

You can disable the measuring tool when converting CAD data to a 3D PDF in the settings tab using our Tetra4D Converter or Tetra4D Enrich plugin to Acrobat Pro.

You can also adjust these Inside Acrobat. Navigate to File>Properties>Security method=>change to Password Security>check the permissions box>Select "Changes Allowed"=>none>enter a password>Save. Now when this document is opened without the password, tools like measurement, commenting, sectioning, etc. are disabled in Acrobat Reader/Pro. With our tools, the ability to export geometric data is also disabled with security enabled.

Best regards,

Jordan

I've downloaded the free trial of Tetra4D Enrich and am not getting the result desired. Jodan;s how to video on this walks through these steps. But what I see is it only removes the measurement tool from the template/drawing. It does not remove the option right clicking on the 3D window and selecting the 3D measurement tool and still measuring the part. Is there a way to truely prevent this?

Hi, Thank you for the tip, unfortunately it does not work for me. I have followed your steps and then when I save and reopen, it only disables the Parts list, but I can still use the measurement tools without any distraction like asking for a password.
