Can't zoom or scroll by finger touch anymore.

I use this product everyday on my Surface. I'm used to be able to scroll and zoom in/out with my fingers, while drawing with the surface pen. Something changed today and now when I try to scroll or zoom by finger touch it instead draws a line. Can you help?

TERRIBLE EDUCATIONAL APP

I just got a new surface pro and was looking for an app where I'd be able to use the surface pen to annotate my PDFs because currently I am studying for my medical boards. A lot of my board review textbooks are PDFs & there are two major problems. One, it doesn't open up my old PDFs that I've been annotating on another app, on a separate computer (whereas on app like Xodo, does) because it says that it's "corrupt" when it's really because the file is too big or simply not compatible. Two, HIGHLIGHTING..... you can only chose five colors at a time (I use seven). Even worse, you can only choose from a limited selection of colors for each of the 5 colors given. The selections are yellow, red, green, blue, and black. Each of the 5 colors you can "customize" to colors that are similar in shade. However, if you want yellow & orange to be on your color wheel together, you can't do that because yellow & orange go together. Will never use this app, don't waste your money, get something else.

China Markt nun konstenlos

In Deutschland Microsoft Store muss man 9,99€ bezahlen. Jetzt in China Mark ist kostenlos. Einfach in Einstellung-Zeit&Sprach-Region zu China wechseln. Außerdem, es ist super für Student.

Fantastic app for reading PDFs with Surface pen

One of the main reasons I got a Surface was so I could read scientific papers on it and mark it up with notes with the surface pen like I did with paper. Drawboard PDF allows me to do this very easily and I really love it.

Fantastic!!!

Love it, only needs a built in dictionary for defining words -with single tap. Double tap currently is used for highlights or underlining

Use it on Surface pro

I like the fact that I can use this app to take notes on PDFs, which is mostly what I use it for. You have the options of calibrating the pen/pencil, including color, fineness, etc. The reason I won't give this app a five is that it crashes sometimes and starts up extremely slow occasionally. Hopefully it's only something that can be fixed with a minor update as soon as possible. Otherwise, it is worth the effort and expense.

The app still doesn't support multiple windows

Up to now, the app still doesn't support multiple windows, which means I can't open two pdf documents simultaneously! That's super horrible! Even I could found such suggestion on drawboard hub from 2015. But they still haven't added the feature!

Notes.

Dell Inspiron running Windows 10. Can write a note and save it. A note icon is created. Icon cannot be moved. And when icon is double clicked to open the note the text is gone.

Was really excited, but menus/organization is terrible

You can write on .pdfs and save them. That's about it. The .pdf manipulation feature (moving pages, etc) is extremely cumbersome. No drag and drop features. You have to tell it which single page to move to which single page. Also, I thought the fact you could open separate "tabs" would be helpful but it is not well implemented. Just like the menus. The buttons are confusing and unhelpfully vague or lacking. I was expecting and hoping for more after paying for the full version. Disappointed.

Works well, but high resource usage

This app works well, but it ate through my surfaces battery life really quickly.
