Re: Inserting Files
Thanks Jes. I tried that just now and it's still very slow. I'm wondering if there is a setting issue.
Re: Inserting Files
Also, when replacing pages (see above), tick the "Replace page content only" option. This will preserve labels and bookmarks.
Re: Inserting Files
It might be the pages themselves. I've found that Civil and Landscape drawings can be very resource-heavy due to all the hatch patterns. Try reducing the file size for the original file and the new pages before swapping them out.
Re: Back button to previous page viewed
I understand the request here, and I can get behind the arrows dedicated to pages (since the up & down go forward & backward for pages).
However, the previous and next view hotkeys can be extremely helpful in meetings or redlining and I would hate to get rid of that having a hotkey function.

Re: Entering the same text in multiple form fields
For anyone interested, we found a way to accomplish this using a JavaScript in the target text fields that allows copying/pasting of pages while maintaining the link to the source field. I believe this is called a dynamic search, so this code can find fields containing partial text strings.
1. Add the target (or dependent) text form field
2. Go to the Calculate section of the settings for that form, then select "Custom calculation field"
3. Click "Edit", then add the code below
4. Edit the "Target Field Name" and "Source Field Name" variables to match your field names.
// Array to hold matching fields
var matchingFields = [];
// Loop through all fields in the document
for (var i = 0; i < this.numFields; i++) {
var fieldName = this.getNthFieldName(i);
if (fieldName.includes("Target Field Name")) { // Match partial name
matchingFields.push(fieldName);
}
}
// Set values for matching fields
for (var j = 0; j < matchingFields.length; j++) {
this.getField(matchingFields[j]).value = this.getField("Source Field Name").value;
}
Re: Inserting Files
I have found the "Replace Pages" command helpful for this type of operation. In the Thumbnails side window, right click menu, use Shift+Click to select pages you want to replace, note the page numbers in the bottom status bar. Right click for menu, click Replace Pages. You then get a File Explorer window to browse to the updated PDF. After picking the updated PDF, a window pops up where you tell Bluebeam which page numbers you want to replace and which pages to replace them with.

Re: Bluebeam prompting to save after opening file when no changes have been made
I haven't seen that happen before but what version of Revu are you using?
Re: Bluebeam prompting to save after opening file when no changes have been made
I use version 21.3 and have the same issue.
Anyone else?
Re: Bluebeam prompting to save after opening file when no changes have been made
I would like to report that Shaya Birnbaum in above post identified the issue correctly.
Clicking on the [reset hidden messages] button in the window under Preferences → General → Options will restore the behaviour described in his post and allow the user to choose whether to remove the viewports (or not).
Removing the viewports causes changes to the file, thus Revu asking the user if he/she wishes to save them each time.
(this fixes the issue in Revu version 21.3)
