No Bloat
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!

Microsoft Excel NOT Required
In order for you to save even more money, I included the ability for the balloon data to be exported without requiring you to purchase Microsoft Excel. For Example, you can use the free LibreOffice to view the spreadsheet file.
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 the text within the PDF file.
Now you can easily use your old ballooning files without restarting from scratch!
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.
Some other ballooning software, you can't even undo/redo, but you can with this.
