Where do I get an access token?

From your Procore developer credentials or admin — the import needs a token that can read the document you point it at. It is used for that download only.

The function uses it to authorize that one fetch; there is no saved Procore connection — each import asks again.

Can I open a Procore document directly in the PDF editor?

Short answer

Header → Import & Export → Import from Procore asks for two things — the Procore document URL and an access token — then a server function downloads the file with your token, hands back a short-lived link, and the PDF opens in the editor like any document you uploaded yourself.

The PDFDepth workspace with a drawing sheet open in the browser — The live PDFDepth workspace — markup, measurement, and review on one canvas.

How the import actually works

You paste the Procore document URL — the link to the file in your project documents.
You paste an access token with read access to that document.
The import function fetches the file server-side with your token as the bearer credential, stores the PDF, and returns a signed URL that expires in an hour.
The editor downloads through that link and opens the document — no download-then-upload round trip on your connection.

What it is — and is not

This is an authenticated pull, not a logged-in integration: there is no OAuth connection, no stored Procore account, and no sync back to Procore — you bring a valid token each import. You must be signed in and the call is rate-limited. Once the file lands, it is an ordinary PDFDepth document: mark it up, measure it, share it by collaboration link, and export it when the work is done.

Where it saves time

Plan rooms live in Procore; the review work happens here. The import removes the download-folder detour — find the document in Procore, mint a token, paste both, and the sheet is on the canvas ready for the takeoff or the QC pass.

Key takeaways

Import from Procore lives under Header → Import & Export.
Bring a document URL and an access token — the server fetches with your token and the PDF opens directly.
No OAuth link or stored connection; token in, file out, short-lived signed URL.
Imported files are normal documents — markup, measure, share, export.
