PDF compatibility
The package contains fillable and reference PDFs. Full desktop PDF software generally provides the most reliable experience for form fields, saving, printing, flattening and electronic signatures. Browser PDF viewers and mobile applications may display or save advanced form features differently.
Test your chosen PDF workflow before using it on a live assignment. Always save a project-specific copy before entering inspection data.
Microsoft Word compatibility
The editable report templates are supplied in DOCX format and are designed primarily for Microsoft Word. Other word processors may open the files, but page layout, fonts, tables, fields, headers and pagination can change. Review the complete document after any conversion or editing in alternate software.
Mobile and tablet use
iOS and Android devices can be useful for viewing files and selected field-entry workflows. Mobile applications may not support every fillable-PDF, editing, printing or file-management feature available on a desktop computer. For final report assembly and quality control, a desktop workflow is recommended.
Printing and scanning
The system supports digital, paper and hybrid workflows. When printing forms, use the intended page size and confirm that scaling has not reduced margins or field areas. Scanned records should be legible, complete and stored with the project file.
File storage and backups
- Download and extract the customer ZIP to a controlled master-library folder.
- Keep an untouched master copy of the original product files.
- Create a separate project folder and project-specific copies for each assignment.
- Use access controls appropriate to client and project information.
- Maintain at least one reliable backup separate from the working device.
Electronic signatures
Where electronic signatures are used, select a method appropriate to the document, contract, jurisdiction and organization. RoofRigor does not provide legal advice regarding signature validity or record-retention requirements.
Before purchasing
- Confirm that the purchaser has suitable PDF and Word software.
- Select the licence tier that covers every named user requiring ongoing access.
- Confirm that internal storage and privacy practices are suitable for inspection and client records.
- Review the Terms of Sale and Licence Terms.
- Review the Digital Product Refund Policy before downloading.
