I think Adobe could do better by either choosing the units used in the Regional Settings of Windows, if the reader is installed on a Windows system, or not displaying units at all. The only time it is necessary to know what the page size is, is when it has to be printed. Then acrobat reader can select the default size from the printer set-ups and scale the document to fit the page, if the document was originally in a format other than that which the printer is set-up for. Or, the user can set something up in the preferences to ask each time. This way we aren't forced to see FFU as a default. Make it more neutral.
