    Are you able to make any markups? Can you use the "Length" or "Dimension" tools?

    Think this thread was already flagged as answered. What you're seeing is a Viewport. Go to your measurements panel and towards the bottom is a viewports section. Remove any flagged as unnamed or untitled.

    If you open a PDF and are prompted with something along the lines of "there are multiple untitled viewports" and then prompted to delete them, the answer should typically be YES. Just keep in mind that if you have a large pdf with many many sheets in it, this viewport removal step could take some time to complete. They can be removed individually, by page or by the entire document later if you want.
