These are some great responses!

Re: "Go To Page" Shortcut
Thank you both!
I'm glad to see you have it on the docket for Revu 21.4!
I'll still give a bit more detail on how this shortcut would enhance my work flow.
My company handles Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams, documents ranging from 100-200 pages, each labeled PID-XXXX. They all have lines on them that go to other pages, detailing what page in a connector box. When navigating in Adobe, say I am on "PID-1734" and I need to follow a line to "PID-1403".
This would normally be accomplished by moving my mouse to the page navigation bar, clicking into the number of page I am currently on, removing that number ("1734" in this case) and then entering that specific page number.
(In the screenshot below, I would hit backspace or delete after highlighting the current page number, enter the destination and hit enter.)
Using the "Go To Page" shortcut mentioned above, I have an assignment on my keypad that opens "Go To Page", removes the current page number automatically by inputting tab, end, shift+left arrow and a few other inputs. From there all I need to do is type in the number "1403".
The screenshot below is what I see after inputting one keystroke using the "Go To Page" shortcut and a special assignment on my keypad.
Having a shortcut for "Go To Page" enables me to press a single key, type any number, hit enter and navigate to that page. That replaces the traditional way of double clicking in, selecting the current page number, hitting delete to remove the old number, then typing the destination.
It's not a massive time save per search, but across 34+ documents all with 100-200+ pages it adds up with how frequently we jump from page to page. I can also do this without moving my hands from where they rest on my keyboard, so ergonomically there is less movement involved too.
Thank you both for the timely replies and pushing my question into a product suggestion!
Re: Edit/Unlock markups in Studio Sessions
This would be helpful to my internal team, too. Our PDFs are essentially living documents with changes tracked in red ("redlines") over several weeks or months, after which those changes are incorporated back into the original source and a new updated PDF is published.
Even if person A updates the equipment and PDF with change A, we often have person B come along with further necessary changes B, and occasionally even have person C with more necessary changes C. It is absolutely helpful to track that final change "C" is an amalgamation of changes from persons A, B, and C, but it is not helpful for latter persons to have to cover up previous updates with e.g. a blank white rectangle.
And when using the "cover up" method, the final reviewer who is incorporating changes back into the original source is forced to wade through conflicting markup history from three different people on the same page. By supporting markup edits, the final reviewer would only have to review a single markup history collaboratively created by three people.
Re: Combine of two files with marks in different scales
If I understand your question correctly, you want to move markups from a sheet at scale "X" to a sheet at scale "Y". The cleanest way to do this is to set the drawing scales of each sheet, then group the markups (shift+G) and add them to your tool chest. Make the group have a dynamic scale and then insert that tool on the new sheet.
Re: Match Adobe Acrobat support for blinking red frame / flashing red box
The blinking is accomplished via JavaScript and I am seeing some errors in the JavaScript console. I can bring this back to the team to try and understand why it isn't working correctly.

Re: "Go To Page" Shortcut
We do have a similar dialog in Revu, it can be found by searching "Go To Page" under Help → Search Tool / Command. Unfortunately, at this time it can't be assigned a keyboard shortcut. We would need to fix it in a future release.
Update: This will be resolved in Revu 21.4 which will be available in the EOY timeframe

Re: "Go To Page" Shortcut
@Alex Scholtes There is a shortcut to go to the next page (ctrl + Right) and the previous page (ctrl + Left), but there is not one to go to a specific page. I can have this moved to a product suggestion. Do you have any additional details about how this would enhance your workflow that you would be willing to share with the product team?
