How do I measure distances between two points on a writer doc?

Hello,
I opened, or better say imported, a PDF document which is the floor plan of an apartment. It must’ve been generated with some kind of software available to architectes. Now there are a lot of measurements lines within the document. In view of an upcoming move, I’d like to measure these lines just to get a better idea as how things will fit.
I used the ruler and was able able to change it to millimeter, but don’t know how to measure distance between two points. Any ideas?
Thanks for your input.

I assume that the PDF was opened in Draw.
Draw is the appropriate tool for your purposes.
Set the scale and scale your drawing in relation to a reference distance from which you know exactly the measurement. You can read how to do something like this here:

You can also upload your plan here so someone can look at it and possibly give you more tips.

Thank you for your input. Gave me a good starting point. Am new to this kind of work and not familiar with SCALE function. I’ll work on it and if need be will get back to the community.
