What you can do on day one
Calibrate scale and measure distances, areas, and angles on real PDF drawings.
Mark up punch items, design comments, and review notes without bouncing between tools.
Try the full app free on Mac or Windows, then buy once only if unlimited hand-created measurements will save you time.
What PolyPDF helps you do faster
Designed for architects, engineers, contractors, estimators, and reviewers working from PDF drawings.
Mark up reviews without tool switching
Add callouts, highlights, shapes, and notes so site issues, design comments, and decisions are easier to communicate.
Buy only after it proves itself
The free download — Mac or Windows — lets you test PolyPDF on live work before you unlock unlimited hand-created measurements.
See it on a real sheet
Counting, measuring and drawing review — the work you actually do all day — across three disciplines of one project. Captured from the shipping app, not mocked up.
Counts that keep score for you
Drop a marker on each symbol and the takeoff worksheet keeps a running tally per subject, right beside your areas and lengths. Number the marks as you go, then export the whole worksheet to CSV or PDF when it is time to price the job.
Real units from the PDF you were sent
Calibrate to the printed scale once — presets for the common architectural scales, or dial in your own, metric or imperial — then pull areas, lengths and perimeters that land directly on the drawing. No CAD file, no re-drawing, no math on a notepad.
Reviews and RFIs, straight on the sheet
Revision clouds, leader callouts, stamps and highlights, with text sizing you control — so a note that reads on screen still reads on a printed half-size set. Every markup is tracked in the markups list, so nothing you flag gets lost between review rounds.
Native on your desktop — Mac and Windows.
AEC teams deserve tools built for the machine in front of them. PolyPDF runs the same engine as a real desktop app on macOS and Windows, focused on the everyday review, markup, calibration, and takeoff workflows construction PDFs demand.
One app, both platforms
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.
AEC takeoff basics
Distance, area, perimeter, angle, count, and dimension tools are built around the PDFs architects, contractors, and estimators already exchange.
No annual seat timer
