BuildPaper
Open, mark up, organize, OCR, print and safely save PDFs in one Windows desktop app. BuildPaper is designed around everyday Japanese office and construction-document work.
Markup for real document work
Highlights, underline, strikeout, pen, text, sticky notes, shapes, stamps, signatures and permanent redaction.
Organize pages without switching tools
Reorder, rotate, delete, insert, extract, split and combine PDF pages, then print with annotations.
Japanese OCR, processed locally
Use Windows Japanese OCR to make scanned PDFs searchable and copyable without sending document content to an online OCR service.
Safer saves
Keep local save history, restore earlier versions, detect outside changes and validate a file before overwriting it.
A path away from DocuWorks
On PCs with DocuWorks installed, open XDW/XBD by converting them to PDF while preserving supported annotations as editable PDF markup.
Desktop document desk
Browse folders as document thumbnails, bundle PDFs, move files, rename them and send them to the Windows recycle bin.
