iPad App Overhaul Desperately Needed
We really need an overhauled Bluebeam App for iPad. The current application isn't optimized for newer iPads and it seems as if total development of the app has just stopped (albeit for a few minor updates here and there). It's been years, MULTIPLE years since there's been a major version update (at least 5+ years ago now).
The resolution of the App hasn't changed (buttons and features) with the larger iPads that have been out for multiple generations now. The interface is lacking any major updates and refreshes. New features that iPads allow such as pencil support, etc. aren't supported.
It's gotten to the point where using this app feels archaic and useless compared to a competitor such as PDF Expert or Drawboard.
Please give the community an update on the progress for the next evolution of the iPad app. If nothing else for the ability to decide if we need to move on or not.

One of mine is Email Templates.
You don't know how much you need this simple tool until you have to remember who all to send that document to.

I like to show people the "Reopen Files from Last Session" option. It's buried under File Access so unless someone points it out to you, you would probably never find it, but it's great to show those users who want to camp in files over night so they don't have to reopen everything again the next day. They love being able to just jump back in to where they left off instead.
I do wish this was a setting though. Like you could just be asked when closing the program, "do you want to be able to go back to these files next time" or a question on start up, "do you want to reopen files from your previous work session?"
Zoomed-In Page Corner
I think adding a zoomed-in view in the corner of each page would be highly beneficial. This feature would maintain the same zoom level and position while allowing quick navigation between pages without the need to constantly pan and zoom. It would be especially helpful when working with multiple split views. Please refer to the attached screenshot for reference.

Markup Selection Cycle
Tired of struggling with overlapping markups in Bluebeam Revu? Say hello to the Markup Selection Cycle!
Now, when markups overlap, simply hover near them, hold Shift, and voilà—you’ll see a list of all nearby markups. Use your cursor or tap the Spacebar to cycle through and select the one you need.
No more digging for markups —just quick, easy access to the markup you want!

Highlight Tool with Status
Please add a highlighting tool that is able to be set with a status
So as teams are going through quality review, items can be highlighted to mark them as reviewed, but with a status that doesn't required any further action. Otherwise when output into an Excel it shows ups as "blank", which can get caught up with comments that are not responded too

The Alignment panel is totally one that people don't know - especially the distributed horizontal / vertical!

I feel like the reduce file size tool gets overlooked. Something as simple as changing scanned documents to greyscale or image DPI to 150 can dramatically reduce file size and improve how quickly files load and pages render. These large reports or plan sets that are 100's of MB or GB's in size can really slow things down when working on the cloud. It's easy to take computer memory, file storage and network speed for granted sometimes, and important to remember to keep file sizes under control when they are going to be used by a lot of people and accessed often.
Re: 🗓️ August 2024 Challenge - Custom & Favorite Tool Sets!
I use tool chests to collect information in a consistent way. See pic below.
With a tool chest and a custom filter, it's a good way to say to a group of people: here is the document, here are the buckets of information I'm expecting to get from you. Now go collect.
If you're into the details: 1. We keep all of our PDFs in sessions so we have to have a page at the back of the document to bring in the layers that align to the tool chest. 2. I have to confirm that custom filters transfer with the profiles but i would assume so, otherwise setting this up manually on 20 computers would be a pain. 3. I find that for some people, to get buy-in, they want to see some kind of output, so you can transfer the tool chest data to a standard report → You have to download the data table to CSV and i have an excel file that can match the heading name in an excel table column to the text box field name in bluebeam to transfer the info another PDF. Then you can have a nice PDF containing the pre-structured information that they can hold in their hands. *i don't do this often because it takes so long and it's a static document.
