Blueprint Markup Software
Reviewing a submittal or RFI before it goes to the engineer of record usually means switching to a separate PDF markup tool, marking it up, then switching back to actually track the submittal itself. The markup ends up in one place and the record of what happened lives in another — a real way for a reviewed document to get disconnected from the job it belongs to.
What real plan markup needs
A real annotation toolset — shapes, clouds, callouts, typewriter text, highlighting, strikethrough, freehand — not a stripped-down viewer with a few basic tools. Colors that can be set manually to match whatever an engineer’s own instructions call for. And a record of what was marked up and when, not a flattened file with no history behind it.
How PoPs Markup handles it
A real annotation toolset plus 5 real submittal-response stamps, wired directly into PoPs APM (Assistant Project Manager) — the submittal and RFI layer built into PoPs Project Tracker. Colors can be set manually to match an engineer’s own instructions, every markup keeps a full audit trail, and the finished review flattens straight to a real PDF export. Because it’s part of the suite instead of a standalone PDF tool, the markup lives with the submittal it belongs to, not in a folder disconnected from the actual job record.
Where this fits
This is the review layer inside PoPs Project Tracker’s own submittal and RFI workflow — not a separate purchase for most jobs, but real depth when a job has heavy submittal traffic.
Who this is for
- Project Managers — Reviewing submittals and RFIs before they ship to the engineer of record.
FAQ
Do I need separate software to mark up submittals?
No — the annotation toolset is built into the suite, wired directly into PoPs APM, the submittal and RFI layer.
Can I match an engineer’s specific color or stamp requirements?
Yes — the color picker is manual, so markups can match whatever instructions the engineer of record gives.
Is there a record of what was marked up and when?
Every markup keeps a full audit trail, and the finished review flattens to a real PDF export.
