Frequently asked questions

Which app should I use to measure PDF drawings?

Vector is Metre2's PDF takeoff app - calibrate a drawing's scale once, then measure areas, lengths and counts straight from the page and export the totals.

Can I flatten or split marked-up construction PDFs?

Yes. PDF Flatten creates a clean copy that strips hidden elements, annotations and mark-ups while leaving the original untouched, and PDF Split & Merge extracts, combines and reorders pages.

Can I search or ask questions about a construction PDF?

PDF Context provides a local workspace for exploring a PDF and asking questions about its content, without uploading the document anywhere.

Do these apps share one account?

Vector, PDF Flatten, PDF Split & Merge and PDF Context all sign in with the same Metre2 account - one login, no separate password to manage per app.
