No longer deal with bloated features that you don't need and are paying tons of money!
​
I designed this software to contain features ONLY related to ballooning drawings without extraneous features that you won't ever use. MANY companies that have ballooning software contain bloated features and make you pay extra for those features, when all you really need is something simple that can balloon the drawings!
Features
All the necessary options for ballooning directly at the top in the software, such as, saving the balloons as a PDF, replacing the drawing to transfer the balloons to say a new revision and changing the balloons shape, size or color. No longer deal with these features being in separate places like with other ballooning software.
Making The Switch Easy
One of the BIGGEST problems with switching to a new or different ballooning software is the proprietary extension project files. This makes it extremely difficult to switch to an alternate ballooning software.
​
Some balloon software saves the balloons to the PDF file as an annotation or just as text.
Therefore, I included a feature that allows you to import balloon annotations from the PDF file itself or by selecting the text that the balloon numbers are inbetween on the PDF file!
Now you can easily use your old ballooning files without restarting from scratch with BalloonX software!
Easy Adjustments
One of my BIGGEST pet peeves in regards to existing ballooning software is the extreme difficulty (or impossible in some cases) to renumber the balloons or move the balloons to a different page on the drawing.
​
With BalloonX, I made this INCREDIBLY simple to do.
