Drawboard PDF for Windows 8.1 receives big update, gets auto save feature and more

The Drawboard PDF app has received a big update today adding quite a few new features. The Drawboard PDF app is like a hybrid between a PDF reader and the OneNote app, and is full of editing and PDF creation features. Of course, this quality app runs for $7.99 (free trial available) and also worth checking out if you haven’t already.

“View, annotate and manage your PDF documents the easy way! Ideal for replacing the pen and paper, avoid printing documents again by using our features that make annotating a PDF a breeze. Either upload or create a new PDF, annotate using our extensive array of tools, then save it back as a compatible PDF. Drawboard distinguishes itself by its intuitive user interface and experience, stylus and touch input separation, smooth and natural pen, and array of tools,” the app description reads.

In this new update, Drawboard PDF has added several new features, with the most notable feature being the ability to auto save a document. This is an incredibly handy feature! There are also a wide variety of other improvements across the board. Here are the key features in this new update:
