Looking for a program (app) to measure Architectural drawings on PDF form

I am an estimator and some one showed me about a year ago a program on their computer that was able to take measurements directly on an Architectural drawing converted on a PDF form. It takes in account the scale of the drawing.

This would be a great tool for my job. I can be more productive.

Can some one direct me the right way?

Is there anything for free? (since I don't have the company's approval to buy anything) Or something real cheap? I will be using it every day on most drawing I revise. And I only need a general software to take measurements from the PDF drawings. Not for estimating. Which the company uses their own.

Solutions range from Adobe Acrobat to Bluebeam Official Site | Bluebeam, Inc. to specialized software such as CostX CostX - BIM and 2D estimating
