Ncored is a fast desktop PDF editor built specifically for architects, structural engineers, mechanical and electrical engineers, BIM coordinators, and construction managers who open heavy construction drawing PDFs from 50-200 MB+ project sets every day.
The product is intentionally narrower in scope than general-purpose PDF suites. The focus is the specific moment a professional opens a heavy construction drawing exported from ArchiCAD, Revit, AutoCAD, Vectorworks, or SketchUp Layout, and needs to scroll, zoom, mark up, and search it without the freezes that typically occur in general-purpose PDF tools.
Markup and annotation tools produce standards-compliant PDF output that survives in any conforming PDF viewer. Includes measurement to scale (length, polylength and area on a calibrated sheet), revision compare as a colour overlay, in-place text editing, image cleanup, full-text search across hundreds of pages, and configurable PDF compression.
Ncored is commercial software from Noir architects. You can download it for free and use it as a trial before buying a license.
