Drawboard PDF Reviews & Product Details

Together with my touchscreen enabled laptop it is really easy to add notes. The change between pen type and color is really fast with the integrated tool, which you can also minimize to have more space. If you need more space you can also add new PDF pages. Adding images or geometric figures is also easy with the toolbox. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A few tools are to be paid extra. I'm a big fan of software that you pay once and then you can use all the features and not have to unlock in-App tools again. Nevertheless it is my favorite tool for writing notes on pdfs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Drawboard PDF is a great software that I regularly use on my surface to make notes on PDFs. The system they use in order to change color/thickness or even make some sketches with preset forms is great. You can preset some pen styles you regularly use and then switch fast between them. Drawboard PDF also recognizes if you touch the screen with your stylus or with your hand. So there is no possibility to accidentally write something with your finger. Also adding blank pages to an existing PDF is really easy so you can increase your space.

I use it also during online meetings or webinars, if I have to make some written examples since it works really good. On one hand you can show your presentation through the pdf slides and in case add some notes for everyone to see. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to have one edition that you can pay fully and do not have to make in App purchases for further support or additional features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

a great tool developed by microsoft that simplifies us and gives us the possibility to work on PDF files, modify them and highlight them or mark documents. It allows us to measure, draw or manage office or CAD tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

a great novelty and news of a new program. It has options between them you can insert text, images, brand, make notes, all digitally as if you were writing with a pencil and paper really a very new tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Everything, it came pre installed on a surface I took and I could never go back, taking notes directly on PDFs with the usrface pen is awesome. You can highlight, write, draw shapes and figures, change colour with anything you want and it's super easy to use. Sometimes when my laptop powers I worry that I'm going to loose all my work, but not a single time with drawboard Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

just small things, like when you close the first pdf in the column and than open anotherone just right after sometimes the program closes, and also sometimes the program stops working when the connection goes down when it is opening Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We can rearrange the pages, rotate them etc. The user interface is very simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I liked the trial version but is of too short period.

I think the insert tool should be improved a little and it should have a rich text editor.

I like the drawboard pdf Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I absolutely loved working with this software. It is very impressive and the power it carries is unbelievable. I used to use OneNote but I switched per a peer recommendation and I really like it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If I had to pick something, I would say that for other people it might be a bummer to know it's missing a few important features that you could probably find for free on the internet. But to be honest, most of those tools aren't really things I would use anyway, so it's a terrific software if you ask me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Drawboard is really nice for marking up PDFs and typing comments in the margins. I like the side bar that allows for frequently used marking tools to be quickly accessible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My biggest complaint with Drawboard is that you can't use CTRL + F to search the document. Instead you have to go through a more tedious menu list to select the find icon. In addition, I with Drawboard had the ability to add blank pages or additional margin space (e.g., for note taking). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have a touch screen laptop with a stylus, and I can fold my laptop into a tablet. So, I can sit in the comfort of my own home, or on the go, and edit papers with my stylus on Drawboard PDF. I value being able to see my edits, so I don't like to edit them in the word processing program. If I don't have a printer close by, this is the perfect program to use to do so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am not a huge fan of the circle as the hub of control. I would much prefer all my options to be available along the side of the screen. The circle just gets in the way, even when I move it around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Drawboard is pretty quick and easy to edit, create new, and save PDFs. It's no-nonsense. It works with my tablet device's pen. It saves the pages you were last looking at for multiple documents, so you automatically never lose your place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The application is very CPU intensive. I use the application on my surface book 2 and surface pro 4 and it uses a lot of battery life. If it used a little less resources I feel like it would be better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Using a surface pen with the app feels like second nature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When using a laptop, navigating through highlight/pen options feels unnatural Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Drawboard PDF is light-weight, but is packed with features. I love that you can easily collapse or expand the tool panel and move it around. I also like that you can add preset sizes, colors, opacities, etc. for pens/highlighers/erasers. Drawboard is incredibly powerful given its low cost. You can do many things that Adobe Acrobat DC would, but for much less. You can rearrange pages, rotate them, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The insert text tool needs improvement. A rich text editor would be nice. I dislike that you can't double-click on a text box to edit text. When you do edit, rather than it editing in the text box itself, you edit it in a pop-up dialog. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how this program allows me to go paperless and helps me organize my documents on my tablet as it is very portable and shareable with other clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
