How it works
Every tool, fully decoded
The extractor inflates each tool's appearance stream and reports its bounding box, PDF subtype and measurement scale alongside the name, type and resource count.
One row per tool
The inventory reads like a register: tool number, name, annotation type, resources, geometry box, measure scale and decode status — the complete audit view of a Tool Chest.
Export as CSV
Download the full inventory as a CSV you can open in Excel, attach to a submittal or file in your QA records.
