How do I activate the measure tool?

I am receiving some of these 3D PDFs from customers and I need to extract measurements from them. I have seen other users demonstrate a measurement tool. I don't have this tool, I believe it should exist in this toolbar.
I am using Adobe Reader XI (11.0.10). Here is a shot at my plugin window. Can anyone help me determine what I am missing?

I can not get mine to highlight at all. How do I get it to do so. Also how do I find out if it is a image or a document?
Email me at oteydarrenatgmail.com
Also how do i convert my pdf to a word document?

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!

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.

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

do you know how to reset the ppi so it is accurate?
Earlier, I wrote:
What is the ppi value in the document? Use the Image - Image Size menu to see or set this value.
I can't believe this conversation has gone on this long. You keep wanting it to be a bug, but it seems to me the basic problem here is that you haven't accepted the fact that YOU are responsible for getting the image metadata in order before you can use tools like the Ruler to read out in physical units, such as inches or centimeters, accurately.
Photoshop can only know the size of things in your document if you or your workflow provide it an accurate ppi value!
What's the original source of the material? A scanner? If so, some part of the scanning or image preparation process has left you with an inaccurate ppi value.
For the documents you're already working with, use Image - Image Size, then UNcheck the Resample Image checkbox and type in the correct ppi value. Then everything will work.

I installed Acrobat XI pro on a Mac but it only shows the features of acrobat reader - how do I activate the pro features?

How do I get Acrobat XI pro on a Mac to work fully, and not just act like Acrobat Reader. i just paid and downloaded it, entered new serial number when requested, but when I open a .pdf I have no pro features showing (such as editing tools, convert to powerpoint, etc). I use XI pro on a windows PC and have no problem there.

Perfect answer. And I feel a bit dumb (should have worked it out, but still finding my way round the Mac). Many thansk for the help.

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.

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.

The measuring tool and scale ratios

For mac users-
I use Adobe to open and work with Architectural plans. The measure tool has been a valuable partner in working up bids and scaling things when no measurements exist. However, no one has addressed how to use the scale tool for these type of drawings. Here is what I have come up with. Hold the option key and click the drawing and the change scale ratio menu appears. If your drawing says 1/4=1' use .25 in the scale ratio / select inch = use 1 in the next window / and ft in the last.
Any of these digits should get you an accurate scaling of your document providing it was scanned properly. I have been looking for a list like this for years. I hope it helps you.
.50 for 1/2" = 1'
.1250=1/8"=1'
.25 for 1/4=1'
.37 FOR 3/8=1'
.75 FOR 3/4=1'
0.09375 FOR 3/32 =1'
.189 FOR 3/16 =1'
0.0625=1/16 = 1'
0.0425 =1/20 =1'

Thanks for the tip, but like I said, I dont want to always have to use the arrow keys. Is it not possible to actually DRAG one pixel at a time? I recently upgraded to CC from CS3 and I keep running into things that feel like a downgrade. Super disappointed.
Our posts overlapped there. Are you saying you could reliably drag one pixel with CS3?
What other issues are you having? Things like the Crop tool can feel strange at first, but I promise you you'll never want to use Classic mode once you get used to it.

How can I activate the transfer rules for the ODS updating a data target.

We are on BW 3.5 and I'm loading data into the 0FIGL_O10 ODS and then uploading the data into the cube 0FIGL_C10. The data loads just fine to the ODS but when I try to 'update the data target' I get a date & time stamp' error on the info-package transfer rules.
I then Replicate the datasource 80FIGL_O01.
I must then 'activate' the transfer rules.
However I cannot get the transfer rules for 80FIGL_O10 in CHANGE MODE to activate them.
How can I activate the transfer rules for the ODS updating a data target.
The error text is as follows:
DataSource 80FIGL_O10 has to be replicated (time stamp, see long text)
Message no. R3016
Diagnosis
DataSource 80FIGL_O10 does not have the same status as the source system in the Business Information Warehouse.
The time stamp in the source system is 02/15/2007 10:42:33.
The time stamp in the BW system is 11/07/2006 13:11:54.
System response
The load process has been terminated.
Procedure
Copy the DataSource again and then activate the transfer rules that belong to it. You have to activate the transfer rules in every case, even if they are still active after the DataSource has been copied.

How do I get the Measurement scale to stay set in Adobe Acrobat IX Pro. It's easy to set the scale , but when you exit out of the commend the scale is reset to 1 = 1.

Thank you for checking, Tom,
I'm confused. What do YOU get when you push the feed button? And why is it working on yours and not either of my machines?
Today, my Mac (w/Safari 4) gets the same error message: Safari can’t open the page Safari can’t open the page “feed:http://vibrationalvoyages/vibrationalvoyages.com/DivineLight_Vibrations_Principles_andApplications/rss.xml”. The error is: “The feed could not be loaded because the content is not in a known feed format.”
My little ASUS (with a Linux operating system) gets a screen that says "The requested URL was not found". The URL on that page is http://vibrationalvoyages./vibrationalvoyages.com/DivineLight_Vibrations_Principles_andApplications/rss.xml
On both error messages, the URL I was checking was:
http://www.vibrationalvoyages.com/DivineLight_Vibrations_Principles_and_Applications/Divine_Light_Vibrations_Principles_ andApplications.html
The last URL was, of course, the URL generated by iWeb.
So, my question still is:
HOW CAN I GET MY FEEDS TO WORK PROPERLY? If the problem is there shouldn't be an http:// after feed: then, how do I get iWeb to set it up properly?
Any ideas?

If it's the same computer, same CPU and same HD, no de-activation or re-activation should be necessary.
Install from scratch and apply all updates manually.
Please do a forum search. I and others have repeatedly answered the question about failed updates of CS5 a whole bunch of times recently.
Bottom line: the Adobe auto updater is utterly useless in CS5 and prior versions. You need to download the updates and apply them manually yourself.
I and others have even supplied the links for Mac and Win, which you haven't even bothered to specify.
