Best PDF Annotation Tool for Professionals and Students
Kris3-41
been using Drawboard PDF for a while now, and it has completely transformed how I read, annotate, and edit PDFs. The app is intuitive, responsive, and packed with features that make it perfect for professionals, students, and anyone who works with PDFs regularly.The pen and highlighting tools feel incredibly smooth, especially on a touchscreen or stylus-enabled device. The ability to customize pen thickness, colors, and pressure sensitivity makes it feel like writing on paper. The annotation tools—comments, shapes, and text boxes—are easy to use and improve collaboration. The tabbed document interface is also a great touch, allowing me to work on multiple PDFs at once seamlessly.

A must have for seriously fast pdf creation and mark ups

The interface is awesome, it’s quite fast. My surface pro can get bogged down when there is a substantial amount of text recognition/text input for any one document.I cannot fault Drawboad itsself though. It’s the best pdf editor I have used in my career in construction. (I cannot comment on its ability from a technical drawing point of view)
Helpful for making each PDF a source of truth

I regularly mark up design PDFs on my iPad Pro and email to my Mac, but now I can just mark up on my iPad and see the markups appear instantly in the web app on my mac! I don’t have an M1 chip mac app but I’m going to use the Windows app too to sync my markups too.

• Measurement Overhaul: a completely refreshed measurement experience, including a new Perimeter tool and a unified Area tool

• Custom Measurement Labels: add your own text label above any measurement
• Annotation Subjects: every annotation now has a subject field that you can edit, then use to filter and group in the annotations list
• Measurement Totals: the advanced annotation list now shows measurement totals for each group
Bug fixes:
