I'm looking for idea's to see if my plan is possible...

We have pdf drawings of quarry feed chutes with replaceable wear plates. These are just simple inverted piramids hoppers.

To identify which individule plates need replacement we send out someone with the pdf drawing and they hi light the plates that need replacement, then we go over the drawing and wright down each worn plate number. Is it possible to say over lay a pdf over a excel type spreadsheet so we just click on each worn plate location and the spreadsheet would build an order list.

Haveing just wrote this i'm thinking its more a dedicated databas e project. Thoughts please.

Thanks all
