When a PDF finishes processing, Framework splits it into its individual sheets or spec sections and files it under a category in the Files panel. You don’t need to sort anything yourself, but you can change a category if it’s wrong.
How documents are split
- Drawing sets are split into one item per sheet, named with the sheet number and title — for example 9 – Main Floor Plan.
- Specifications are split into their sections.
- Each sheet or section opens on its own, and the agent can find and cite it directly.
Every drawing sheet and spec section also appears in the Contract Documents Register.
