"A must-have for any student"

5/5

What do you like best about Drawboard PDF?

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.

What do you dislike about Drawboard PDF?

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.

Recommendations to others considering Drawboard PDF:

Drawboard is an incredible value, with a one-time cost of $9.99. It comes with many features as-is, but you can get even more features by paying $25 per year for Drawboard PDF Pro. They have a free trial to test out the Pro version, so you have nothing to lose. The PDF Pro subscription includes any future features they will develop, so it is well worth it, considering they are constantly releasing new updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Drawboard PDF solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Drawboard as a graduate student who reads hundreds of pages a week. It is vital for anyone who does a lot of mark-up on documents. I also use it for signing and filling out PDF forms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface very simple- perhaps too simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Drawboard PDF:

I reccomend use for people with some sort of tablet, surface product like the surface book, an apple Ipad or stylus supporting smart phone. (or amazing mouse skills!) for the handwriting feature, but if you do not need to write by hand it has an extremely flexible text imput tool great for filling out forms, adding notes to projects and the like. Easy and straightforward, I use this before any other product for filling out forms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Traveling a lot, and not having a printer and scanner on had it is so easy to fill out forms and sign on my surface without spending valuable time going to an office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
