The old set on the tailgate
The framer built from Rev 2. Rev 3 came out last week, in an email the framer never got.
The current set, sheet by sheet, in everyone’s pocket.
Upload the PDF and it’s split into numbered sheets. Revisions stack up behind the current one, markups turn into tasks and punch items, and the owner gets a link without a login.

How the wrong sheet ends up on site
The 300-page PDF
Scrolling a phone through one giant file to find A-201, then pinching around a sheet you can’t read.
The markup in someone’s inbox
The super circled the problem on a printout, took a photo and texted it. Now the photo is the record.
How it works
From one big PDF to a set the crew can use
- 01
Upload the set
Drop in the PDF. ProjectAire splits it into sheets and reads each sheet number and title from the title block’s text.
- 02
Check the sheets, then publish
A review screen shows what it read for each page. Fix anything it got wrong, and mark a page as a new sheet or a revision of one you already have.
- 03
The current sheet is the one you seeAutomatic
Every sheet keeps its history and one version is current. Upload a single revised sheet without re-sending the whole set.
- 04
Mark it up and turn it into work
Cloud it, circle it, add a note or drop a punch pin. Any markup can become a task or a punch item, linked back to the spot on the sheet.
What you can do with a sheet
Markups
Rectangles, circles, clouds, arrows, lines, freehand, text, notes, stamps and highlights, with a comment thread on each one.
Bookmarks
Personal or shared, so the crew can jump straight to the detail that matters this week.
Search and print
Search the sheet’s text, then print or download it with or without your markups. Print a whole filtered set as one PDF.
Share without a login
Send the owner or a sub a link to one sheet or the whole set. Allow download or not, set an expiry, revoke it, see how often it was opened.
In the field
A plan viewer app that’s just your phone
Search for the sheet number, open it, mark it up. Comments on a markup show up live for everyone looking at the same sheet.
- The newest revision is the one you open
- Punch pins right where the problem is
- Nothing to install from an app store
Specs
The spec book next to the drawings
Upload the specs as a PDF under the same project. They open in the same viewer and search the same way, so the answer to “what does the spec say” is one tab away.
- Search the text of the spec book
- Same viewer, same print and download
- Part of the record at closeout
Questions we get asked
Does it split my plan set into sheets?
Yes. Upload the PDF and it’s split into one sheet per page, with the sheet number and title read from each title block. You confirm them on a review screen before they go live.
How do revisions work?
Each sheet keeps every version, and the current one is what everyone sees. Upload a revised set or a single revised sheet; older versions stay in the sheet’s history.
Can I share drawings with someone who doesn’t have an account?
Yes. A share link opens one sheet or a whole set in the browser, no login. You choose whether they can download, set an expiry, and revoke it any time. They see the clean sheet, not your team’s markups.
Can I turn a markup into a punch item?
Yes. A markup can become a task or a punch item, or link to one that already exists. The item points back to the markup on the sheet.
Where do the specs go?
Upload the spec book as a PDF under Specs. It opens in the same viewer, and you can search its text.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. The viewer has a tool rail made for a phone, so you can read, search and mark up a sheet in the field.
