    Features & Workflows

    PDF viewing, text search, page placement, copy: all inside Archicad.

    Multi-page navigation

    Scroll through a long PDF, jump to a specific page, or use the thumbnail strip to preview. The palette docks to any side of the Archicad window, so you can keep it visible while you model.

    Instant text search

    Find text inside the loaded PDF. Results highlight and navigation jumps between matches. Makes looking up a clause in a long spec a one-click operation.

    Place pages into Archicad

    Select one page or a range, click Place, and each page drops into the active Layout, Plan, Section, or Worksheet as an image. Perfect for integrating spec excerpts, consultant markups, or code snippets into your presentation sheets.

    Copy text and images

    Select any text or a rectangular region and copy it. Paste into Archicad text elements, other applications, or back into the same project as an image.

    Place into more window types

    archiPDF can now place a page into Sections, Elevations, Interior Elevations, Details, Worksheets, and 3D windows too, not only Layouts and Floor Plans. Pick the output resolution (72, 150, or 300 DPI) before placing.

    Marquee zoom and region copy

    Marquee-zoom into part of a page, hold Space to pan while in pointer mode, and right-click to copy a selected region or the whole page as an image straight to the clipboard. Press Ctrl+F to search, Ctrl+0 to fit the page.

    Free trial

    A free 7-day trial of the full add-on is available on Windows and macOS, one per account and per computer. Download it from your account, sign in from inside Archicad, and the trial starts when you link it.
