It's easy to mark up PDF files. In the construction industry we make markups on blueprints and submittals. It's also easy for material take-offs with the measuring tools.
Cons
I'm still not entirely satisfied with the placement and variety of toolbars. I have toolbars at the top side and bottom but I struggle to display only the tools I frequently use.
