Scale Ratio Rounds to 2 Decimal Places
The scale ratio requires you to input decimals rather than fractions when measuring architectural scales, i.e. 0.125" = 1'-0" for 1/8" = 1'-0". However, after inputting the decimals, Acrobat rounds to the nearest 2 decimal places. So 0.125" becomes 0.13". Doing so makes all measurements off by .005". This is unacceptable in the architectural world. This functionality should NEVER round the decimals, and should house at least 3 decimal places to ensure accuracy.
This occurs on Mac and Windows, in every version of Acrobat and Acrobat Pro currently downloadable. It was tested by my team and internally at Adobe.

After using this program for 3 years, I'm at my wits end. Hopefully someone can help because Adobe IT can't even figure this out.
When I create a page size in another program (i.e. 2.625"x8.625") and view it in Acrobat DC Pro, it automatically rounds the page size to 2 decimal points (i.e. 2.63"x8.63").
If I use the crop tool 'custom' in Acrobat, it rounds the 3rd decimal to 2 decimals.
If I use the measuring tool, click on scaling and ratio, enter 3 decimals spaces, it still rounds the pdf to 2 decimals.
I need 3 decimal points.
I tried Photoshop Express App and the same thing happens; always rounding to 2 decimals.
I need to create pdfs with .125 bleeds added to the measurements. If I use the print production mode, the bleed box reduces the document, instead of adding .125" to the document.
IT tried to help by using prepress settings to no avail, as it isn't an option.
There should be a simpler solution to this, otherwise, me thinks that it's a glitch in the Acrobat program.
Help would be greatly appreciated
