Sounds like you’re an engineer.
Now you can replace pen, paper, and ink with one easy piece of software so you can save hundreds of hours of work and a city block’s worth of stress every day. Isn’t technology awesome? Here are just a few of the reasons engineers absolutely must have PDF in 2018.
Whether you need to fix an address, adjust an invoice (it’s the city’s fault, you swear it), or actively collaborate on sketches with your team, doing things the 20th-century way is going to take a lot of time, effort, and trees to get just about anything done in the engineering field.
How does being able to view, edit, share, store, and annotate documents instantly sound?
Yeah, that’s what we thought. Here are the reasons in a bit more detail.
Reasons Why Engineers Have to Switch to PDF in 2018
Collaboratively Markup Sketches Easily
Your job is to design, evaluate, install, and maintain mechanical products, equipment, and systems to meet requirements based on engineering principles….
Which basically means you are doing a ton of sketching, annotating, and other forms of markup all the time.
With PDF software, you get streamlined, instant markup capabilities in real time, no matter where your team is. You’ve never seen markup this easy before. You’ll save countless hours of design time by communicating, sharing, and working on documents digitally.
Now you can markup in any way you’d like as fast as you can use a normal pen, except it’s from literally anywhere at any time. Just make your PDF, add cool notes, and voila.
Access Docs From Anywhere
Train to Manhattan, out on the job, or working from your home office—PDF software allows you to access anything you’re working on from anywhere in the world (even if you’re on vacation).
Markups, drawings, and documents are instantly accessible even when you’re far from the office. So now you can use one piece of software to connect your team, offices, or even 3rd-party contractors.
If you’re worrying about document safety, don’t be. We know how sensitive working with local government blueprints can be. That’s why Soda PDF uses 256-bit encryption on all of its passwords and allows you to create multi-level security protections on all of your documents.
Only the right eyes will ever view your work.
Save Money on Supplies
As an engineer, your entire world revolves around paper and ink. Chances are your office printer works up a good sweat by the end of each day.
It’s estimated that the average office employee wastes 10,000 pages of paper each year. That’s a staggering number. An engineer’s office might be even higher. There is no substitute for real engineering paper, but if you digitize the majority of your documents, you won’t have to deal with all of that clutter and waste in the office.
Not to mention the fact that you can make adjustments digitally before printing a draft. This means that you won’t waste paper printing out multiple versions of a blueprint before it goes final.
Signing Documents Has Never Been Easier
You know all of those plans that come across your desk every day?
How about that feeling in your wrist like you just got done playing tug of war?
Now signing is a breeze. With the E-Sign function of most PDF programs, you can approve plans, fill in and sign forms, and anything else that needs to have your John Hancock on it. You can sign a building plan in less than a minute and get on with more important matters.
If you’re an engineer in 2018, there’s no reason not to have powerful software capable of making your life easier than ever before. Now you can edit, annotate, share, and store documents quickly, comprehensively, and most importantly, 100% securely.
Fixing a typo, signing a building plan, or editing a draft from a team member is now easier than ever before. And these are just a few of the reasons engineers are turning to PDF software more and more.
