JDraftPDF

JDraftPDF is a small software application whose purpose is to help you make annotations to PDF files using a tablet and pen. In order to run the program you need to install the Java working environment on the target computer.

Requires no installation

The tool is portable which gives you the advantage of keeping it saved on USB flash drives or other portable devices so you can carry it with you all the time. Plus, you may open it without having to possess administrative privileges straight from the storage device.
It does not create additional entries in your Windows registry and leave other settings items on the host PC. This way, you can get rid of it with a simple deletion task. You do not need to go through an installation process. A double-click on the executable file does the job.

Clean looks

JDraftPDF sports a straightforward design that allows you to get an idea about how to tweak the dedicated parameters in a short amount of time. Documents can be imported in the working environment using only the built-in browse button (the drag-and-drop support is not implemented).
You cannot appeal to a help manual to read more about the editing process. However, you can set up editing tasks on your own.

Annotate PDF files with ease

A thumbnail preview with all the pages included in a PDF file is revealed in the main window. What’s more, you are allowed to open PDF items in full screen, go to the next or previous page, jump to the first or last page, or access a user-defined page number.
Other important configuration settings worth being mentioned enable you to hide or display the thumbnail preview, zoom in or out of PDF pages, make use of pen for creating annotations, delete unnecessary parts with the aid of an eraser, as well as alter the color and size of the pen.
Tests have pointed out that JDraftPDF carries out a task quickly. However, it is not quite friendly with system resources so the overall performance of the computer may be hampered.

Final thoughts

All in all, JDraftPDF comes bundled with several basic features for allowing you to make PDF annotations via a tablet, and can be mastered by rookies and professionals alike.
