How do I turn on the ruler?

[Ferd Berfle]

I'm trial-testing Nitro Pro. How do I turn on the ruler display? The user guide doesn't even contain the word 'ruler' apparently.

That's kind of shocking. How can you use a graphical editing program that doesn't have a ruler? It's not a feature, it's a necessity. Thanks for the response, but for me this trial flunked on the fundametals.

I made an account purely to add to this because it is insane to me that after 3 years there is STILL no ruler in this program. I too am doing a trial and not having a ruler is a deal breaker and I won't be buying this software. You have grid lines already, so how much harder could it really be to add a ruler... cmon.

It's 2024, and, it's still not there. I was evaluating the trial 13 Pro, but it doesn't support ruler guides. It doesn't recognise headers and footers in a PDF converted from Word 2021 and doesn't help with page labels eventually.

In all, it's not an 'All-in-One' PDF solution but a very basic thing, especially for people working on books editing.
