Why Productive Teams Choose zipBoard for Their Document Reviews

With zipBoard’s PDF annotator, you don’t need an on-premise software, ensuring your guest collaborator can start giving their comments hassle-free. With privacy our #1 priority, we secure your data at a server/location of your choice. Giving you complete control of it.

Centralize all annotations

View all the reviews in your project in one place. Visualize them better using zipBoard’s task list and Kanban board.

Manage reviews/comments

Every comment you add in the PDF can be added as a task in zipBoard. Each task can be assigned various properties (due date, assignee, watchers, level of priority…) to keep you and your team on track.

Print the pdf with annotations

Now you can use zipBoard’s built-in print feature to display all your annotations, stamps and signatures on your physical documents. Simply toggle it off if you don’t want it. Most annotators would struggle with printing as the pages increase. With zipBoard, print a 100 page document in a whiz.

Customize viewing experience

The settings tab allows you to customize your viewing experience with options such as full screen, dark mode for reduced eye strain, and translate – enabling you to translate the content on the review dashboard, not the document you’re reviewing.
