Take measurements off PDF floor plans

Working in construction , our company uses PDF construction sets all the time. However, it would be great to scale the drawings and take measurements off the PDFs. This feature would be great since you already have many AEC companies using Dropbox on top of other apps that do the measuring; such as Fieldwire or PlanGrid.  

Please take note that PlanGrid was just bought by Autodesk. Why?

It might be a good idea to look into Dropbox buying Filedwire and integrating into Dropbox, since they're pricing levels are much more reasonable than PlanGrids.

    Thanks. BTW, Fieldwire was recently purchased by Hilti Corporation.
