Exporting a Marked-Up PDF

When you export, FieldMarkup takes your original floor plan PDF and bakes ("flattens") all your annotations into it. The result is a standard PDF that anyone can open. No special software needed.

The export includes:

• Device icons: every camera, reader, sensor, and custom device you placed, with their label badges (C1, CR2, SD3).
• FOV cones: translucent colored wedges showing camera coverage, printed at 25% opacity.
• Status rings: the colored circle around each device showing its install status.
• Shapes and annotations: rectangles (solid, dashed, and cloud outlines), ellipses, lines, arrows, text callouts with numbered punch-list badges.
• Freehand ink: any pen strokes you drew.
• Door groups: tether lines, outer rings, and D1/D2 pin labels.
• NAC loop wiring: dashed polylines connecting fire notification devices with EOL markers.
• Floorplan walls and openings: wall segments, door swings, windows, and overhead doors (if drawn on a blank canvas).
• Brand logo: your company logo, if you've uploaded one and toggled "Show logo" on the markup.

Not exported: Count/tally marks (those are a private review aid and never appear on customer-facing PDFs).

1. Open the markup in the editor.
2. Click the Export button in the toolbar.
3. Optionally toggle the appendix options:
   • Device Schedule: appends a landscape page listing every device by Door, ID, Type, Notes, Location, Status, and Page number. Sorted by category, with alternating row stripes for easy scanning.
   • Punch List: appends a page listing every numbered text callout in order, with the note text next to each badge. Hand this to the GC as a punch-list summary.
4. Click Download. The PDF downloads to your device.

If your markup has multiple pages (a multi-floor plan set), all pages are included in the export. Each page carries its own annotations. The device schedule at the end lists devices from all pages with a "Page" column so the reader knows which floor each device is on.

The exported PDF is designed for two audiences:

• The customer: the marked-up plan with FOV cones and the device schedule give them a clear picture of what they're getting. Email it as a proposal attachment or print it for a sit-down review.
• The install crew: the device labels on the plan match the device schedule, so a tech can find C4 on the plan and look up its model, location, and notes on the schedule page. Print it and put it on the clipboard.
