My engineering firm prints documents from AutoCAD to PDF constantly, as most do. When we plot or publish the sheets, the bookmark matches the file name, which is also the layout name from AutoCAD (Page Number then Title in our case). The Page Label however has a [1] in front of every label. That is very frustrating to read…
I started the Bluebeam Max trial for our organization so I could test integration and features with GitHub CoPilot.
