About

This is a community package of Open PDF Studio, maintained independently and unaffiliated with the OpenAEC Foundation. It repackages the official upstream Linux build unmodified.

Open PDF Studio edits and annotates PDF drawings. It measures to scale, compares two revisions, fills forms, recognises text in scans, and can import or export DWG and DXF. No account is required to edit a local file.

Sandbox: display, GPU, network for optional sign-in and the symbol library, and the printer socket so the printer list can fill. Files are opened and saved through the file chooser. The in-app updater is turned off. Updates come through FlatPark.
