PaperTick™ for Adobe Acrobat
Workpaper tickmarks, cross-references, sign-offs, notes, stamps, highlighting, and a calculator tape — on the PDF, inside Acrobat.
A native plugin, not a website.
PaperTick™ is a native 64-bit plugin for Adobe Acrobat DC on Windows. It adds its own PaperTick menu and toolbar inside Acrobat. The tools stay on that toolbar while you review workpapers.
Built for reviewers who already work in the PDF: place ticks, link workpapers, initial a sign-off, drop a note or stamp, highlight a word, and print a calculator tape onto the page.
