Is there a way to start a text box and add a selection for bullets or numbers. This would help out when typing notes and /or keeping things in chrono order

Has anyone worked with BTX files before or know of a tool, utility, or workflow that can convert them to PNG format (batch conversion would be even better)?

Regarding drawings plotted to PDF from AutoCAD. It appears that although we can successfully find specified text in the PDF with Bluebeam, it cannot be replaced if the Width Factor in AutoCAD is anything other 1. Anyone else run into this? Anything we're missing or tricks to make it work? Thanks.
