"I wish there were Drawboard PDF features that would let me..."  

We recently conducted a survey to learn more about how you use Drawboard PDF, and not only did we get some great insight that will help us shape the future of our products, we learned that we had a lot of people requesting features that are already in the app!

In this post we want to spotlight the top five most requested features that you can start using right away. You can also take a tour of all Drawboard PDF tools and features here or download the app to get started.

1. Using JPEG, PNG and other image files

Insert images into PDFs in Drawboard PDF

There are 3 common ways to use images in Drawboard PDF:

  • Insert an image on a document through your camera or an image file
  • Copy an image from another location and pasting into Drawboard PDF
  • Open an images as a document

Once you have marked up an image using Drawboard PDF, you can then save it as a PDF. You can even set Drawboard PDF as your default image viewer.

If you are are opening images as documents in Drawboard PDF, you won't be able to use text review tools on the image, but tools that aren't linked to text such as the pen, shapes and text insert will all still work as usual.
