How to open multiple windows in Drawboard PDF

Create a new window instantly

Need to open another document while keeping your current one visible? Drawboard PDF makes it simple.

  • Click the "Open New Window" icon in the top navigation bar
  • Or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + N for even faster access

Each window operates independently, giving you a complete set of markup tools for both documents.

Load your documents strategically

  • Work on two monitors simultaneously for maximum visibility

This arrangement eliminates constant tab switching, keeping your workflow smooth and focused. Plus, you can use all your favorite tools independently, including pressure-sensitive ink, annotations, and Document Builder workflows.
