On the Web Version - OneNote - Inserting PDFs

Question

Problem: When inserting a pdf and setting the background as a picture, writing on the pdf is not working. When adding text boxes within the pdf is causing the text boxes to move from the worksheet window to go outside the area where typing is needed. What is the most efficient way and tips to use pdfs for classroom worksheets whereby students are typing in a response to question? Also are the videos for OneNote for the WEB tutorials for both a laptop and iPad?

Please note: most of the OneNote video tutorials are for the Windows desktop and not the online version. Lastly, if a OneNote tutorial for the Web could include how to use pdfs more efficiently within OneNote would be helpful.

Any suggestions or help would greatly be appreciated!
