We are a homebuilder of single family production homes, custom homes, and multifamily condos and townhouses. Our various architects are sending us PDF files of each page of a the drawings via email, or by placing them on their FTP site for us and our contractors to download. The expectation is that we will print them for review and discussion, or send the PDF files for bidding by our subcontractors.
Are there some preferred tools for marking up PDF files? I also want to isolate small portions of the drawing that can be forwarded to a contractor for discussion by creating a specific PDF file with that smaller portion of the full drawing. Imagine a cut and paste from one or more sheets to a new document.
If using the PDF files for markup is not the preferred method, what is the most likely recommendations of methodology we might make to our multiple architects so that we have minimal cost invested in both software and learning curve and a single piece of software to accomplish this? We want more than one person in our company to have these capabilities and expect the same process to be useful for more than one architect or engineering professional at multiple companies.
