Inking on Web Pages - Discussion
Elliot Kirk Late to the party, but wanted to add another use case that does seem common. We're running into this with our support team more and more, and we're desperately looking for a solution.
Problem - PDFs and annotations housed on network using the standard products. Vendor has said since 2016 'dont do that, don't edit pdfs on network shares'.
We're crashing more and more each day. We design a product web page, store it as a pdf in SharePoint, and through SP workflow notify the proofers that they need to take a look.
They annotate the pdf with text box/typed comments, maybe 5% of the time they're drawing/noting with their pens.
Edge is so close - we've got the drawing piece, and if a SharePoint library is synced to file explorer we can save back on top of the original .pdf, but we need that text box. Then we can drop the standard pdf application that is causing us so much grief, and just use the browser for proofing.
Robin Nilsson types comments (notes) on PDFs is something that we will be working on soon. It is great to know that you are using Sharepoint workflow for collaboration.
