Hello,

How to open an entire pdf to occupy the screen and annotate the pdf or part of the screen with comments ?

  1. Which App or Apps to use for this?
  2. Is it possible without using a white board screen ?
  3. If using with the Whiteboard app, how do we open a pdf of 100 pages to occupy the whole screen and annotate or comment on the parts of the pdf?
  4. Is it mandatory to add the pdf pages to the White Board or can a pdf file be embedded in the whiteboard permanently ? Will it persist if it is inserted from a Google Drive after a signout/reboot?

Kindly advise.

3. How can you open a 100-page PDF in Whiteboard and annotate it?

You can follow the steps below to import and annotate your PDF file in Teachmint Whiteboard:

  1. Open the Teachmint Whiteboard app.

  2. Click on Insert and select PDF.

  3. Select the PDF file you want to use for teaching.

  4. The PDF will open in the panel on the right-hand side of the Whiteboard.

  5. Click the Settings icon available near the option to add a page to the Whiteboard.

  6. Select Fit to Width to adjust the PDF to the screen.

  7. Add the PDF to the Whiteboard. The first page will appear on the Whiteboard.

  8. Use the Write option to annotate the PDF or add comments to the relevant sections.

4. Is it mandatory to add PDF pages to the Whiteboard, and will the content persist after signing out or rebooting?

Teachmint X features a Smart PDF Auto-Import tool that automatically assigns the imported PDF pages to the digital board, eliminating the need to create each page manually.

If you import a PDF from Google Drive into a Whiteboard session, your PDF pages and annotations should remain available after signing out or rebooting, provided that you save the Whiteboard session before signing out.

  1. Where is this Smart PDF Auto-Import Tool?
  2. I tried adding pdf pages to the white board manually and it stopped after 30 White Board pages. Is there a limitation to the number of pages a White Board can have ?

Kindly Advise.
