If your PDF viewer App supports iPadOS markup features, or offers other Pencil support, then yes. Otherwise, no.


Information about iPad’s native markup features can be found here:

Use Markup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Draw in apps with Markup on iPad - Apple Support


If using a third-party PDF App, you’ll need to check the individual App’s capabilities.
