Mobile Dropbox app: handwriting/annotations (with pencil) for pdf, photos and drawing files

Do you want to use less paper and organise your handwritten annotations on digital files?

 

In daily business, I need to review documents (pdf): highlighting, adding quick handwritten notes or adding symbols is very usefull.

As a sailer, I make notes on weather charts(gif, png or jpeg), plot tidal calculations on a tidal template for a harbour (pdf). Or I need to draw secondary port calculations in a standard pdf template.

As a musician, I make notes on a digital music sheet.

 

There should be an option in the Dropbox app to add these annotations to the original document or to create a copy including the annotations (in the file name it adds your initials and a date). I know there is a feature to add signatures, but this proposal takes the next step!

I think this would we a very useful add on for the mobile (tablet) Dropbox app.

 

Thanks for sharing, commenting and voting 🙂 (just click vote after reading this)

Hi @BasseART, I hope you're doing well! 

 

You mentioned editing PDF documents, which made me think of this feature. 

 

Not sure if this would 100% fit your needs, or If you'd like more additions to this. Want to have a look, and let me know your thoughts about this feature, if this would work, and if yes then let us know how to improve it. 

 

Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!
