Posted in: #AdobeAcrobat #Latex #Measurement #Pdf

I am looking for a free tool (Windows/Linux) which can display a PDF and show the coordinates under the mouse pointer in millimeter (or inch/etc just what the settings are) based on the PDF coordinate system. It would be nice if it comes with a zoom function for extra precision.

Background is that I want to check (pdflatex) placement of objects in the PDF output.

I found this StackOverflow thread however the answers are not free tools (Illustrator) or pixel based solutions (GIMP), etc.

Adobe Acrobat does this.....

And Acrobat also has a Loupe Tool....

And you can use both at the same time....

Screen shots from Acrobat Pro X, but I can't imagine they've removed these features from newer versions (I just don't like the newer versions).

Acrobat isn't free.. and I don't know if Reader has these features. But you did tag the question with Acrobat, not Reader.

Since version 3.0 you can do that with Sumatra PDF.

Just tested it. Works great. Changelog said:

added a document measurement UI. Press 'm' to start. Keep pressing 'm'
to change measurement units

You'll find the UI appearing in a box on the top left. Units are mm, in, pt.

Have fun meassuring.
