How to view and edit PDF in Excalidraw

Benjamin André-Micolon

What if you could look at the design document right next to your sketches in Excalidraw?

Or sketch some diagrams for your class while the PDF is opened on the side...

Or even ask your customers about their preferred sketch and illustration without having to leave Excalidraw?

It's now possible, thanks to the SimplePDF integration in Excalidraw!

Excalidraw?

Excalidraw is a virtual hand-drawn style whiteboard that offers collaborative features and is end-to-end encrypted.

At SimplePDF we use Excalidraw for sketching features, both the technical implementation as well as the designs.

We also use Excalidaw for illustrations! In fact you may have noticed them on the SimplePDF embed page

So when Excalidraw announced the ability to embed websites into any board, we could not miss the opportunity!.

Adding SimplePDF to Excalidraw is the best way to view, edit and even submit forms without leaving your board

TL:DR: Add https://embed.simplepdf.eu as a Web-Embed in Excalidraw

It also works with any SimplePDF form
