PDF Editor with Stylus for Tablet

This may not be the forum to post this, but I am sure there are a few CAD users out there that may have some quality feedback.

I currently use AutoCAD 2017, works like a dream...I make a lot of PDF's that circulate and get comments on them and they come back to me to review, make additional comments and move forward.

Currently I am having to print my PDF's onto actual paper...grab my red pen...mark them up...scan them...and email them back.  This feels a bit like I am stuck in the stone age.

There has to be a way, a program or something out there that would allow me to pull up a PDF file on my tablet - grab that weird pen/stylus thing - make notes, draw sketches or just organize my thoughts onto the actual PDF - quickly save - and back to the consultants.  I could do this while sitting in front of the boob-tube with a glass of wine (which is really the ultimate goal here).

 

Any thoughts out there for what I am looking for?

 

(FYI, I don't actually have a tablet - awaiting to hear what my program options are first - so feel free to let me know if an iPad or some Android product works better than the rest).

 

Thank you all for the help,

Cheers,

Hi @BMATT,

 

There are lots of applications on the market that let you edit, comment, markup, and save the changes to PDF files. I suggest a quick web surf might give you the most popular ones. You might take a look at Apple, Google, and Microsoft stores to see if they have products you like.

 

You might also check out Autodesk BIM 360 to see if it works the way you like.

There are indeed a lot of applications out there - I was hoping to narrow them down a bit, and with polling my friends and family I have been overwhelmed as it seems everyone is using something different.  I think I am heading off to the Apple store today to see what a new iPad would come with.  Perhaps that should be my first step - GET THE TABLET...then figure out the program.

I will definitely post back here when I pick something up.
