More a documents management system for you iPad, it syncs to iCloud and others popular cloud storage and also handles media.
Of course you can annotate PDFs and more.
Documents - this app by Readdle, one of the best app developers out there, is not only free but offers so much for users beyond just handing PDFs. For architects not wedded to markup tools within mobile CAD viewers and collaborators, this should be strongly considered for your own review. Bluebeam Revu - this app is dedicated to AEC industry drawing annotation.It is the big brother if Bluebeam Vu and adds redline PDF markup tools, editing of PDF pages, including deletion/addition, chat support in co-review sessions, collaboration sessions with Bluebeam Studio and more. It may also be on another guide list in the series. Again, we have somehow missed an up that deserves to be on this list–especially if you developed it– please let us know so we can add it here. Here is a listing of some of the best PDF-centric annotation apps in existence for all markets, plus dedicated AEC industry PDF-based or PDF-capable drawing markup and annotation tools. Those are the heavy hitters and each offers unique combinations of features. If an architect doesn’t need all the industry-specific features of a tool like Bluebeam Revu or needs an additional tool for standard document reviewing (Revu doesn’t let you annotate things like iWorks docs for example) than the competition is really between GoodReader, iAnnotate, (see image 03) PDF Expert or PDF Reader Pro Edition for iPad. (see image 01)Ġ3 - The highest rated app with the most reviews in the list, iAnnotate offers extensive annotation features and more, including voice recording attachment to docs. It’s feature set for the architecture industry is extensive and it works collaboratively via Bluebeam Studio. Let’s highlight some apps we like.Īgain, we are going to point out Bluebeam because in truth it stands alone within the AEC industry as a truly dedicated PDF-based AEC annotation and collaboration tool. 
Some of the best of those apps are listed here as well. Also, in our list we go beyond just the need to annotate PDF drawings files but also consider the architect’s task of working with text documents like specifications and project manuals, among other things.Īnd architects work with many other document format types that often need to be converted into PDFs. As is TurboReview–because they can annotate PDF drawings. For example the excellent Bluebeam Revu is on both guide lists. We did not list AutoCAD WS here or SolidWorks Corporation’s excellent eDrawings Pro apps. Our Mobile CAD Viewers and Collaboration apps guide includes other excellent tools for annotation as well, as part of native CAD/BIM file formats. In this category we have tried to limit ourselves to just tools that primarily annotate PDF files–drawings importantly and of course smaller documents.
