Looking For PDF Utility That Can Superimpose Text / Arrow At An Angle
Hello Experts -
I am looking for a Non-Adobe piece of software that will allow me to display text / arrow at an angle.
The goal is to take an existing sketch of some land that is in a PDF format, and add an idiot-level measurement like this, but - say - at a 20% angle:
<-------------------- 25.6 Feet ----------------------->
I already have utilities that will allow me to overdraw arrows at an angle, but they won't allow me add text at the same time.
I realize that Adobe Acrobat can do this, but I'd rather not spend $500 or $19.95 a month for an "occasionally used" functionality. Can you recommend anything? I'm willing to pay for a reasonably priced add-on.
Thanks for your suggestions.
