Search commands, assign the keys you already use, clear individual mappings, or reset the complete shortcut set.
Compare two revisions, inspect the detected changes as editable clouds, and track every result in the Markup Table.
Place a real building-scale map, resize it to the sheet, switch it to CAD Linework, then add built-in MUTCD signs at the intersections.
Choose Area, hover inside an enclosed room, and press Space to capture the detected boundary as a measured area.
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, radius, diameter, count, and dimension tools are built around the PDFs architects, contractors, and estimators already exchange.
Try real documents for free, then unlock unlimited measurements, Symbol Search, plugins, and Revision Package updates 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 the complete Pro workflow.
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.
If PolyPDF saves you time, buy the $49.99 Founder's License to remove the measurement cap and unlock Symbol Search, plugins, and Revision Package updates without a yearly fee.
Short answers to the buying questions that usually block a download.
