RENiX PDF Annotator is a purpose‑built Windows desktop application for reviewing and marking up engineering drawings, shop drawings, and technical PDFs. Every markup is true vector — crisp at any zoom — and saved back into a standard PDF that opens anywhere, while remaining fully re‑editable in RENiX. It runs entirely on your PC; no account, no cloud, no internet required.
