Can I export a room scan as a PDF?

A PDF is what everyone can open: the client on a laptop, the contractor on a phone, the appraiser in a file. PlaceAnew makes one from your scan with no drawing step, and here is exactly what is in it before you install anything.

Page one: the measured floor plan

• Every room with its name, its width by length and its area in square feet.
• Walls drawn solid, with doors, windows and openings in their measured places.
• Overall width and depth along the edges, and a scale bar.
• Furniture outlines where PlaceAnew recognized furniture and fixtures.
• Room, wall and total area count across the top.

In the sample home above: Living Room 14 ft 5 in × 17 ft 11 in, 256 ft²; Bedroom 11 ft 1 in × 11 ft 8 in, 130 ft²; 8 rooms, 27 walls and 647.6 ft² in total.

Page two: the property summary

• Property summary: number of rooms and walls, average wall height, total area, perimeter, volume, wall area, and the count and area of openings.
• Rooms: the rooms with their area and volume, and its floor type with a colour swatch. Floor types read from the scan are marked "estimate".
• Furniture and fixtures: how many of each kind PlaceAnew recognized.
• Openings: the doors, windows and openings with their widths.
• Saved measurements and annotations you added in the app.

The sample home's summary reads: average height 7 ft 11 in, perimeter 268 ft 5 in, wall area 1,594 ft², 8 doors, 4 windows and 6 openings, 43 pieces of furniture and fixtures.

How to export the PDF

1. Scan the room or the whole floor; see how to scan a room with your iPhone.
2. Open the project. Rename a room or move a wall in the editor; it takes seconds.
3. Tap the share button and choose the PDF report.
4. Send it by AirDrop, Mail or Messages, or save it to Files.

Is the PDF accurate enough to work from?

It is as accurate as the scan. In a 2026 peer-reviewed study, an app built on the same Apple RoomPlan technology found all 8 rooms of a test house, and its total room area came within about 5% of a laser scanner's model.^[1] In our own office, all 7 wall lengths that compare one to one with a hand-measured plan came within 2.5 inches, median under 1 inch.^[2] Send it for quotes, space planning, design and listings.

The PDF does not hide guesses either. Floor types read from the scan say "estimate", and walls the scan could not see are drawn dashed in the app's plan.

PDF, SVG, DXF or USDZ: which file for which job?

File	Best for
PDF report	Clients, contractors, appraisers, printing. Opens anywhere.
SVG drawing	Illustrator, Figma, websites, listing graphics. More on SVG.
DXF	CAD software, as the starting drawing.
USDZ 3D model	Viewing the home in 3D on iPhone, iPad or Mac, and 3D tools. More on USDZ.

All four come from the same scan: PDF report, SVG drawing, DXF for CAD and USDZ 3D model.
