What it does

  • Reads a PDF drawing set and pulls out sheet numbers and titles.
  • Builds a structured sheet index with each sheet's revision history.
  • Flags delta sheets and coordination clouds.

Where it stops

  • Accuracy depends on the quality of the PDF text layer.
  • Scanned or rasterized drawings need OCR first.

How to use it Run it first whenever a new drawing set arrives.

Use PDF Sheet Indexer in your projects

It ships inside the CoLateral desktop app, next to your files and your agents. Anything an agent writes stays a draft until you approve it.
