Drawboard PDF is a lightweight productivity application that gives users complete control over their PDF files and includes built-in annotation tools. Optimized from the ground up to work seamlessly with touch-based Windows hardware (such as touch-enabled laptops and tablets), this program impresses even corporate customers who demand a plethora of technical options to make any app acceptable for their daily workflow.

Given that this premium tool tries to satisfy both home and commercial customers, it's not surprising that Drawboard PDF can perform practically anything with PDF documents. It can recreate all sorts of PDF files with 1:1 accuracy and provides sophisticated editing features for copying and extracting data from other Windows apps, annotating, drawing shapes, saving changes, and easily sharing changes with other people. 

However, due to the enormous number of features and services available, some users will need to spend some time learning how to fully utilize this software. However, once this is completed, Drawboard PDF may truly become the ultimate PDF management program for even the most demanding users, such as architects and designers who handle and annotate hundreds of PDF files per day. 

The best and most exciting aspect of Drawboard PDF is its touch-friendly interface, which can handle both finger and pen inputs seamlessly. Many of the app's functions are geared for simple access when in touch mode, allowing users to easily alter PDF files, annotate and highlight, copy and remove data, write and erase whatever they want, add sticky notes, and, of course, draw freehand or with predetermined shapes. After editing, the entire PDF can be "flattened" into a new PDF file that is ready to share. 

While the app's interface is streamlined to provide quick and easy access to all of its functions, some UI components may prohibit users from sketching and annotating across the whole page surface. In some rare circumstances, the app may stutter, hang, or even crash. The software is still in development, with many fixes and new features planned to be introduced over time. 

Drawboard PDF is a premium program that focuses on providing a diverse set of tools to experienced and demanding users, and it is specifically designed for touch-enabled devices. The application is compatible with all versions of the Windows operating system, including Windows 8, Windows 10, and Windows 11.
