2023 was a big year for Drawboard PDF. We released a broad range of powerful new PDF tools designed to help all of our users work faster and more seamlessly. While we dedicated a large portion of our efforts towards helping teams streamline work and coordination with the right PDF markup and collaboration tools, we also prioritized helping students to reach enhanced levels of productivity. We did this by building and delivering PDF tools specifically designed to help students work more efficiently and by making our advanced tools more accessible to all students.
In 2023, we started to offer all students and teachers 50% off our Drawboard PDF Pro plans. We also shipped a bunch of features aimed to help users work faster on the canvas and to get any job done with ease.
Here are 10 Drawboard PDF tools released in 2023 that can help any student enhance productivity.
Express complex mathematical concepts with precision and ease. The Equation tool transforms your LaTeX input into beautifully formatted equations, catering to all mathematical and scientific documentation needs.
The Equation tool is available to all Pro plan users on the Windows app.
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) works as a text converter that detects text from any scanned document or image of text and converts it to selectable and searchable text on your PDF.
OCR is the perfect tool for any student wanting to digitize notes from textbooks or make photos of lecture slides searchable and interactive plus more. This is because with OCR you can search, copy and paste and highlight text that would otherwise be non-selectable.

Write and draw more seamlessly on the canvas with smart ink-to-shape and ink-to-line recognition. Use smart inking to instantly neaten your freehand shapes and lines. Simply draw and hold using your finger, mouse or stylus.
Smart inking detects and corrects shapes including triangles, squares, rectangles, circles, hexagons, octagons and more as well as linear straight lines (on the Windows app). In addition to these, on the iOS and macOS apps, smart inking also works on zigzag lines and curved lines.
Smart inking is available to all Pro plan users on the iOS, macOS and Windows apps.
Want to evenly distribute your headings, neaten up your notes or space elements on your page with precision?
Using Distribute, you can apply precise and consistent spacing between multiple objects on your page in a couple of clicks. Instantly distribute elements on the canvas both horizontally and vertically.
Distribute is available to all Pro plan users on the Windows app.
With Audio Notes, you can record a voice note or upload an audio file and pin it to any area of your PDF document. This tool is perfect for any student wanting to add more context to their notes or documents, as well as for those wanting to make quick notes to themselves or anyone they’re collaborating with. Easily play back your notes at any time by tapping on your audio pins.
Available to all Pro plan users on the iOS and Windows apps.
With Document builder, you can freely chop and change your documents in a way that works for you and get any PDF work done with ease. The perfect workspace for students to merge and split notes or other documentation, to extract pages, rotate pages and more, Document builder is designed to streamline the way users reorganize their PDF documents and pages.
Document Builder is available to Pro Plus and Pro Unlimited plan users on the Windows app. The ability to merge, split and re-organize PDFs is also available to iOS app and macOS users.
Never lose your documents. On the Drawboard PDF Windows app, a backup file is automatically restored when a file gets corrupted and you try to open it.
The app also saves backup files to your file explorer to help enable you to retrieve 'lost' documents. Struggling to find a file that you've recently closed? Head to your document archive to retrieve files that have recently been closed. Users can retrieve files from up to 7 days prior.
Email upload is a feature on the iOS, macOS and Windows app that enables users to work faster with PDFs sent to them via email. Every user gets their own unique Email Upload address and all documents sent as attachments to this address will automatically be uploaded to their Drawboard PDF account!
This is the perfect feature for any student who gets sent notes or documentation and wants to streamline the way they work with them. Send emails - or have emails sent - to your unique email address and you'll instantly see them in your Drawboard PDF cloud account!
Email upload is available to all Pro Plus and Pro Unlimited plan users on the iOS, macOS and Windows apps.
On the Windows app, users can choose from a wide selection of fonts for text annotations! Personalize the way you write and make your markups your own.
Pro plan users get access to the full range of fonts.
Categorize your documents into school and home, to do tasks, completed tasks, school subjects, and so much more. Use tags to catalog your documents in a way that suits the way you work.
Find exactly what you need with easy search and categorization and work more efficiently.
