Using a javascript to change the font size used by the measurement tool

A couple years ago I saw a javascript written that would allow me to chang the font size used by the measurement tool in Acrobat 9. When the IT department deliverd my new laptop with Acrobat X Pro, they had wiped out the script and I am not expert enough to recreate it from scratch. Any suggestions? I believe it was in an older post by Dave Merchant, but I truly can't find the post or a way to recreate the script. Thanks for any help.

Executing this code from the JS console will change the font size of all the Measurement annotations to 20. You can change the value in the first line to use a different font size:
var newTextSize = 20;
this.syncAnnotScan();
var annots = this.getAnnots();
for (var i in annots) {
    var annot = annots[i];
    if (annots[i].type=="Line") {
        var richText = annot.richContents;
        for (var i in richText) {
            richText[i].textSize = newTextSize;
        annot.richContents = richText;

I have Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and cannot enable the measuring tool. Any advice?

Am try to use the measurement tool to measure perspective plain; any ideas?

No one can remotely have "any ideas" to help you when you don't even mention what your problem is nor what your system and workflow are like.
Of course, when you post here,one assumes you have done your due diligence, read the documentation, the user guide, the Help files in the Photoshop Help menu, as well as done Google and forum searches, etc, and we would expect some sensible, detailed information from you.
Teaching someone Photoshop from scratch, step by step, exceeds the scope of this forum—or any other forum.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
A screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

Changing the Measuring Tool Graphics size (arrows and leaders)

I am measuring a drawing and I can't see what I need to click on because the measuring tool graphics are so large. Please see the images. Is there a way to make the graphics smaller, thinner, etc. so that I can actually measure something with a bit more accuracy?
In the pictures below I am trying to measure a wall footing and in the second image the rectangular footing is covered by the arrows when using the measuring tool. In the third picture, you can see what I am measuring and how covered up the rectangular footing is in the previous image.
I want to annotate the drawing with the measurements so I don't want to turn off the leaders and annotation. If someone has an answer, i would really appreciate the help. Thanks in advance.
Mac OS 10.7.5
Acrobat X Standard

I am sorry if I have wasted anyone's time. I have actually now found a solution.
Right clicked the page when the measuring tool was selected and chose 'change scale ratio'. However, I would have never thought that it was a ratio issue...
Thanks a lot, anyway.

Changing the measuring tool units and measurements

Hi,
When reading the PDF in Acrobat 9 Pro, how can I change the measurement units from inches to metric when using the measuring tool?
I have already been to Preferences and changed in Units and Guides the Page and Rules Units to millimeters but then, although the rulers do change to mm, the measuring tool (the red lines) still read in inches...I have also made sure the Measuring (2D) preferences show the 'Use Scale and Units from Documents' is checked.
Does anyone kow how I could get the measuring tool to give me the dimensions in metrics?
It would be truly great if anyone could clarify this. Thank you so much!

Where are the settings to make Acrobat software recognize my scanner?

Where are the settings to make Acrobat software recognize my scanner? I've had my computer on a road trip. When I returned to the home office, I can't get Adobe Acrobat 10 Pro software to recognize my scanner, which is a 4-in-one printer. Acrobat will print to the printer, but I can't get it to recognize the scanner to scan a document. Any suggestions as to how to fix this?

Open the Acrobat application(Acrobat X) and later navigate to Create>PDF from scanner>Configure presets and later select the Scanner which is connected to your computer and check it will work.
If you are getting two options ie WIA and TWAIN please select TWAIN as Acrobat is compatible with TWAIN interface than WIA.

Object>Expand Appearance. Then proceed to Ungroup, release clipping paths, etc., to further dissect it. Exact steps will depend upon the specific artwork.

When using the measure tool the imputed scale resets to 1to1 as soon as you perform another action. How do you get the scale to lock?

When using the measure tool the imputed scale resets to 1to1 as soon as you perform another action. How do you get the scale to lock?

Hi there - I think I am having problems associated withg Cause 9 in that in google mail I have another pop email address associated so that I can send using this email address, but then I have both addresses setup seperately in BIS. When I receive a mail from GMAIL I receive a duplicate with "received by: unknown" in the header. I had gmail setup so that it would send using by pop email address as default.
In your answer the settings for the two filters you recommend creating are broken links and I canot actually see them. What are they?
Also What do you recommend setup wise with gmail and a pop account. Some people say it is better to get gmail to receive the pop mail account and run the whole account from there. Blackberry doesn't seem to like this setup very much. Should I completely dissociate the pop account and to try and clarify the distinction between the two? Or should I setup a second gmail account and have that poll my pop account and then have the blackberry feed off these two gmail accounts? The reason I am considering this option is gmail provides a lot of storage and online continuity and this would effectively persist my account.
Your help would be much appreciated.. I have had blackberry woes now for over a month and I have spent hours with various support personel, tried deleteing and sending down new service books etc etc but had no luck yet.
thanks,
Nathan

Where is the Crop tool in CS6?

I used to use the Rectangular Marquee to crop an image, but that is no longer an option. Where is the Crop tool? I tried to use instructions at Photoshop Help | Adjusting crop, rotation, and canvas but that did not help. It never did tell you how to crop an image.

I used to use the Rectangular Marquee to crop an image, but that is no longer an option.
Why?
Make the Selection, then use Image > Crop if you want to use that Tool.
The Crop Tool still has the single-key-shorcut C, so depending on your settings hitting C or shift-C repeatedly should select the Tools with which the Crop Tool shares a space in the Toolbox in turn.

Where is the ellipses tool in AI?

I'm sure it sounds stupid, but that really is my whole question. Where is the circle tool?

It's under the rectangle tool:

Where is the damn tool menu?

Where is the damned tools menu????
Your utter stupidity is just beyhond my understanding

I am not sure what you are upset about, it's all right there in front of you nothing hidden. It is simply an option on the way the toolbars are displayed, if you don't like one way do it another or select customize and make it the way you want.
And I would think if you have been using Mozilla browsers that long you would have realized by now the toolbars can be modified.
Did you even read https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/how-do-i-customize-toolbars
