Whether you manage supplies, oversee project materials, or coordinate logistical details, consistent usage of this tool can dramatically minimize errors and bolster confidence in your data.

To make the most of the Count Tool:

  • Select the symbol or item you want to track, then place count markers throughout your PDF. Each marker updates in real time, so you always see the latest total.
