One product, two ways to work

Review in the browser. Edit on Windows.

Circulate Review

Your firm and the city review the same drawing set at the same time, in the browser. Every comment has an owner, a status and a reply thread, and the review ends with an issued record.

Circulate Editor

Everyday PDF editing on Windows: mark up, measure and save, offline. A licence you buy once and keep, never remotely deactivated.

How a review runs.

Four steps from a drawing set to an issued record.

  1. Upload the drawing set. One PDF or many sheets; each upload is a revision.
  2. Open a review stage with a due date. Invite colleagues from each discipline, and the city reviewers or applicant as guests.
  3. Everyone marks up the same set. Clouds, callouts, text and measurements with the tools you know from Bluebeam and Acrobat; each comment gets a status and replies.
  4. Close the stage and issue the record. A letter, a comment sheet and the marked-up drawings, ready to file. Unresolved comments carry forward to the next round.

For municipalities

City reviewers join free. Always.

A firm invites the city to its review. Staff open the link, comment where the drawing needs it and read the answers in one place, with no licence, no install and no procurement.

Circulate for municipalities ›

Made for both sides of the counter.

For consulting firms

Stop merging comments from five PDFs. Run each submission as one review, with every discipline and the city in it, and keep the record.

For municipalities

City reviewers join a firm's review free, in the browser, with nothing to install. Comment where the drawing needs it; read the answers in one place.

Questions, answered.

What is Circulate?

Circulate is PDF review software for civil engineering drawings. A consulting firm and the municipality it submits to mark up the same drawing set together, stage by stage, and each stage ends with an issued record of every comment.

Do city reviewers have to pay or install anything?

No. City reviewers, applicants and anyone else invited to a review as a guest join free, in the web browser, with nothing to install. Only the firm that runs the review pays.

How is Circulate different from Bluebeam or Adobe Acrobat?

Circulate uses the same ribbon layout and markup tools reviewers already know from Bluebeam and Acrobat, adds free guest access for the city, keeps a record of every review stage, and sells the Windows editor as a one-time licence instead of a subscription.

Is the Windows editor licence really perpetual?

Yes. A licence you buy is yours to keep and is never remotely deactivated. Twelve months of updates are included; renewing updates after that is optional.
