Run OCR on a received scan, then search the recognized text without losing the original page image or document context.
Search commands, assign the keys you already use, clear individual mappings, or reset the complete shortcut set.
The AISC plugin places a W24×55 section as an editable vector you can move and resize on the drawing.
Search a location, tune the zoom and base map, preview it, then insert the map directly onto the PDF.
Follow enclosed plan linework, subtract openings with resizable cutouts, and keep exact helper dimensions visible.
Choose the supported document data to remove, review the consequences, and keep destructive options explicit before saving.
PolyPDF runs the same engine as a desktop app on macOS and Windows, focused on everyday review, markup, calibration, and takeoff workflows construction PDFs demand.
The Mac DMG and the signed Windows installer ship the same engine at the same version — open drawings directly, no VM or browser-only workaround on either side.
Distance, area, perimeter, angle, count, and dimension tools are built around the PDFs architects, contractors, and estimators already exchange.
Try real documents for free, then unlock unlimited hand-created measurements with one direct license that covers up to 3 computers.
Download free, test it on your own drawings, and pay once only if you want unlimited hand-created measurements.
Grab the Mac DMG or the signed Windows installer and open the full product, not a time-limited trial.
Calibrate scale and place up to 3 hand-created measurements in each document to confirm it fits your workflow.
