            I nowadays I don’t see much benefit of dedicated Android apps in these cases (clients of hosted content). If your webapp works well for mobile browsers than making it a pwa is not much more than adding a single file and it feels pretty native to me. So you safe tons of development work. Or am I missing on something?

    Have dimensioning and scaling on there? I have yet to find a good PDF program in Linux for working with architectural drawings. In Windows I use pdfxchange (and also through wine in Linux) but would love a native solution.

      Surprised to find a fellow pdfxchange user. I use it for work where I deal with a lot of electronics/components datasheets. Pdfxchange’s search functionality/UI is superior to every other PDF viewer/editor I’ve tried. I’d love to find an open-source alternative.

        It’s so much better than the other PDF things I’ve used. I can measure drawings, set dimensioning scale, comment, edit, all easily. I don’t know why more software doesn’t take their lead. Bluebeam is industry standard for my world and it’s way more expensive and way worse of a product. Pdfxchange users unite!

        PDFxchange is hands down the best PDF UI I’ve used. I switched from Acrobat a year ago expecting to be disappointed, but haven’t had any issues. The ability to customize almost everything about the software was what sold me and I’ll never be able to go back to the horrible experience of Acrobat.

    Do I understand correct that it is a document manager, specialized on PDFs? I tried various EDMs for personal use (e.g. Mayan, paperless), but was never really happy, so maybe I find time to give it a spin.
