So far, ComPDFKit offers developers a variety of PDF measurement tools that can be easily integrated into applications with just a few lines of code. These tools support Windows, Android, iOS, and Web, with plans to expand compatibility to more platforms in the future. By providing designers and engineers with more accurate design and construction data, ComPDFKit helps improve project precision and efficiency.
PDF Measuring Tools Supported by ComPDFKit
1. Distance/Length Measurement Tool
Lines are the basis for measuring length in plan, 3D, and section drawings. It meets the basic need of measuring the distance between two points in these drawings. This tool is easy to use, simply the initial point, move the pointer to the second point and release it to display the measurement. This distance tool ensures that architects and designers can obtain length measurements and compare them with the actual distance.
2. Perimeter Measurement Tool
ComPDFKit provides three measurement tools - Multline, Rectangle, and Polygon for accurate perimeter measurement between multiple points or different shapes.
- Multiline Mode: Users only need to aim at the initial point and click on subsequent points on the side of the object in sequence. Double-clicking the mouse at the endpoints will instantly display the perimeter and individual measurements of each line.
- Rectangle Mode: Users only need to select the initial point and drag the mouse to cover the desired measurement area. The system automatically calculates and displays the perimeter data of the rectangular area.
- Polygon Mode: Users click on the starting point and select subsequent points in sequence until a closed figure is formed, and double-click to display the perimeter and area data of the polygon instantly.
3. Area Measurement Tool
In polygon and rectangle mode, ComPDFKit supports accurate area measurement, similar to perimeter measurement. The user selects the boundary of the area, and the system automatically calculates and displays the corresponding area data.
4. Circle & Arc Measurement Tool
ComPDFKit's measurement tool can accurately measure the circumference, area, and radius of the circle in the drawing. In addition, for arcs, ComPDFKit can also accurately measure the radius, arc length, and angle.
5. How to Adjust the Scale & Properties of the PDF Measurement Tool?
Application of PDF Measurement Tools in Different Industries
PDF is widely used for various industries because of its cross-platform compatibility and high-quality display. Obtaining accurate data is important for AEC and surveying, This is why PDF measurement tools appear before our eyes.
1. AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction)
We know that the completion of a perfect building is inseparable from the precise measurement data on the architectural drawings. So measurement is very important in the AEC industry. PDF measurement tools enable professionals to quickly and accurately measure distances, areas, and perimeters. This reduces errors, streamlines workflows, and enhances collaboration efficiency.
2. Design Industry
Similarly, in the design industry, the completion of precise layouts is also inseparable from the accuracy of measurement data. PDF measurement tools allow designers to extract exact measurements directly from digital files, ensuring that designs meet specifications and maintain consistency.
3. Surveying Industry
PDF measurement tools enable surveyors to take measurements directly on digital maps or floor plans, improving efficiency and accuracy while reducing the need for physical measurements.
ComPDFKit offers efficient and easy-to-integrate PDF measurement tools that allow developers to seamlessly incorporate them into PDF applications. This simplifies the process of measuring digital documents and enhances data accuracy in the AEC, design, manufacturing, and surveying industries.
