    Work with PDF'sOpen

    In the construction industry, PDFs are the core format for exchanging information, which makes reading and reviewing PDF documents one of the most important and routine tasks in project management. PDFs are a huge part of everyday work, whether for drawings or documents. The ability to upload documents into Miro and add comments there is great, but unfortunately it is not enough.Not everyone uses Miro. For Miro to be a truly functional tool in this context, it is essential that the results created in Miro can be easily viewed and used by people who do not work with Miro. I love Miro and creating results with it is remarkable. But its somehow hard to export those things created on the Board. Miro ist great at improting it all on one board and create an overview and bringing it all together and i use it everyday for that. But it somehow can feels like the results are “traped” on the board. It would be extremely helpful if I could upload a PDF into Miro, edit it there, add my comments or sketches and so on and then export the edited PDF again with one click. Just like any other PDF Editor.There are some workarounds, such as creating a frame for each page and then recombining the individual pages externally, but this is far too cumbersome to be practical in everyday work, there things results need to be archived and distributed quickly. It would be much more useful if I could export the annotated PDF with a single click and send or archive it directly. This would make it much easier to create results, share insights and information.

    Disable keyboard shortcuts by default (with option to switch on for pro users)Open

    Hi Miro team & community!I frequently observe the following issue with non-pro Miro users in my workshops:Workshop participants are asked to put text on empty sticky notes that are already prepared on the board. Now participants select the sticky note and start typing. Because Miro does recognize their text entry as them using keyboard shortcuts, participants end up adding objects to the board instead of writing text (e.g. trying to type “slow”, Miro will take the S as shortcut for the shape tool and the L as shortcut for the connection line tool, and participants end adding shapes or lines).While participants might have felt a little uneasy with the tool when starting, now they are completely lost with what to do. To make things worse, of course all other workshop participants can see their cursor and that they are not managing to put text on a sticky. Try to remember that feeling when you had your laptop connected to the beamer already and didn’t manage to set up your presentation, while the whole audience is watching you trying to figure out how it works. Not a feeling you want to create for your workshop participants.So could we please have keyboard shortcuts off by default, with an option to switch them on?As a side note, I consider myself a Miro pro user in the meantime, and it regularly happens to me as well that Miro does not register my double-click, so I end up creating odd stuff on the board instead of entering text. But at least I know how to clean it up afterwards. RegardsJens
