Takeoff Studio - free
Read the scale from the title block in one click, with a check on the paper size. Measure details at another scale with scale regions. Name every page from its title block with the drawing register, and search the text on every drawing. All free.
In the PDF tab choose Set Scale from Title Block. Takeoff Studio finds notes such as 1:100 @ A1 or 1/4" = 1'-0" and sets the page's scale in one click.
If an A1 drawing has been saved at A3, it warns you and offers the scale at this size (1:100 @ A1 on an A3 page measures 1:200). Always check one known dimension.
Choose Scales (W) and draw a region round a detail or viewport, then pick its printed scale or calibrate it. Everything measured inside it uses that scale.
Drawing Register reads each title block's sheet number, title, revision and scale. Accept them and they become your page names. Export the register as CSV.
Press Ctrl+F to find a door number, a room name or a note on every page, and go straight to it.
Help: Drawing sets has every option in detail.
