Can you please tell us how you open the PDF and where you read the dimensions. Please show a screenshot.

Also: how do you create the PDF using which options?

I created the PDF through Illustrator by "save as." I read the dimensions by "showing" the ruler in Acrobat,

There are boxes in the PDF, that define the areas: media, objects, bleed, etc. https://docs.cloudprinter.com/client/pdf-page-boxes-explained/

Thanks. Ok, now that what the boxes are, how do I "see" or "turn-on" those boxes on my PDF.
