ScaleTap: PDF Plan Measure

Measure PDF plans on iPad with reliable scale calibration, six takeoff tools, and live handle editing. Export XLSX, CSV, or annotated PDFs—fully offline.

ScaleTap is the fastest way to measure construction plans on iPad. Import a PDF, set the scale, and pull takeoff quantities with Apple Pencil — on the jobsite, fully offline.

Placing a measurement takes seconds. Now fixing one does too: drag a handle on any measurement and the value updates live as you move it. No tool switching, no fighting the app.

MEASURE EVERYTHING ON THE PLAN • Lengths, areas with perimeter, multi-segment runs, counts, angles and arcs, and volumes • Values appear live as you draw and as you edit • Snap to the drawing itself — endpoints, midpoints, intersections, centers — plus grid snap and orthogonal/45°/15° angle constraints • Numbered count marks grouped into named categories for fast tallying

A SCALE YOU CAN TRUST A wrong scale means wrong numbers, so ScaleTap treats scale as a first-class tool: • Calibrate from a known dimension, pick a preset architectural/engineering/metric scale, or trace the printed scale bar • A verify prompt helps you sanity-check a new scale against a known dimension • Different scales on different pages — and scale regions for multi-scale sheets (plan at 1/8" and detail at 1/2" on the same page)

EXPORTS YOUR OFFICE CAN USE • CSV and native Excel (XLSX) with groups, subtotals, grand totals, and scale provenance — ready for estimating • Flattened, annotated PDFs that open cleanly in the PDF tools your office already uses • Optional measurement summary report appended to the PDF • XFDF import/export for exchanging annotations with desktop PDF tools • Export the whole document, the current page, only pages with measurements, or a custom range like 1-3, 5, 9

BUILT FOR THE FIELD • Fully offline: no account, no cloud, no signal required • Autosave protects your work — even through a force quit • Pencil draws, finger pans; two-finger undo and three-finger redo work the way you expect • Hardware keyboard shortcuts for Magic Keyboard users • English, German, French, and Japanese, with VoiceOver and Dynamic Type support

FREE AND PRO Viewing PDFs, markup (ink, highlights, arrows, shapes, text callouts), and XFDF annotation exchange are free. Measurement tools, calibration, and data/PDF exports are part of ScaleTap Pro — a simple monthly or yearly subscription that auto-renews until cancelled. Your documents always stay yours and always stay readable, subscribed or not.
