PDF guide for real estate developers

2 min read·24 August 2026

Real estate developers manage building permits, architectural drawings, lease contracts, and project information brochures. Professional PDF workflows speed up communication with investors, municipalities, and contractors.

Submitting building permit dossiers

A building permit application dossier contains the application, site drawings, floor plans, facade elevations, structural calculations, and spatial justification. Export all drawings as PDF, merge them in the sequence required by the environmental permit portal, and compress the package to the maximum upload size.

Sales brochure as professional PDF

A project sales brochure combines renders, floor plans, specifications, and price lists. Merge all sections, add the project logo as a watermark, and compress the high-resolution renders without visible quality loss. Export two versions: a full colour version for digital distribution and a black-and-white version for print.

Filling in and signing lease contracts

Standard lease contracts contain fill-in fields for tenant, address, rent amount, and duration. Use the formFill tool for personal completion and add the digital signatures of tenant and landlord via the sign tool. Archive each signed contract as non-editable PDF/A for the required seven-year retention period.

Securing investor presentations

Project information for investors contains financial projections and confidential location details. Secure the PDF with a read password per investor and set an expiry date after the due diligence period. Remove internal metadata before sending to external parties.

Bundling delivery dossiers per unit

After delivery, buyers receive a dossier with inspection report, key handover declaration, warranty certificates, and manuals. Merge these documents per dwelling unit and add a QR code linking to the digital property folder in the client portal.
