Capturx Markup for PDF
Capturx Markup for PDF helps distributed and mobile teams accelerate collaboration:
- Handwritten notes and markups on printed PDF documents into the digital source PDF files for immediate sharing
- Data sent instantly through Bluetooth and cell phones, or stored on the pen until a PC connection is available.
As a result, teams:
- Eliminate data-entry time and costs
- Complete reports faster
- Capture signatures
- Reduce risks from compliance gaps and poor operational visibility
PDFs can be printed on plain paper using many common printers, from letter-size to large format plots for easy note taking, signature capture, redlining, and markups. Capturx for PDF software works with standard PDF files generated from a range of CAD, Adobe®, and other software applications.
For users of TerraGo Technologies®, Capturx for PDF supports GeoPDF files. Digital markups are automatically geo-registered, viewable using TerraGo’s free toolbar. Users can export these annotations into a KML file which can then be viewed with Google Earth®, Google Maps®, and ESRI® ArcGIS Explorer.
Capturx for PDF automates paperwork for project management in many industries. Teams print existing PDF files from CAD plans, maps, or forms and then mark them up with a digital pen. Once the pen is docked or the data sent through Bluetooth and cell phones, all handwritten markups are integrated into the files. Teams can track the date, time, and author to help validate data and meet compliance requirements.
As a result, teams:
- Improve data capture, sharing, and reporting
- Increase project visibility
- Ensure process adherence
- Identify trends before they become project, safety, or compliance issues.
