Description

Download free viewers to view BuildTopia reports, uploaded documents, and architectural plans.

Default reports within the BuildTopia application and many uploaded documents are produced in a .PDF format that can be read by Adobe Acrobat Reader.
When architectural plans uploaded in a .DWF format can be read by AutoDesk Design Viewer.

If not already downloaded, desired viewers must be downloaded on each user's desktop or laptop PC.
