Re: Highlighting Tool
I know exactly what you are dealing with here! Annoying, and common.
Starting with the last resort - hold CTRL to override the text selection and draw simple highlights over the areas you want.
Short of that, sometimes, changing the direction you are selecting the text will keep if from jumping to highlight unwanted text. E.G. if selecting from left to right is getting out of control, try starting at the right and highlighting back to the left and vice versa.

Re: Legend to Excel
VBA to reformat once it's in excel? Would at least turn it into a single button push to fix.
Re: Forms - Dropdown - Adding multiline options
The only way I can think of doing this is to a dropdown populate a multiline textbox via JavaScript. Here is the code that does this. It is a document level script:
var field = this.getField("LocationDropdown");
// Set the keystroke script
field.setAction("Keystroke", 'if (event.willCommit) {\
var addresses = {\
"NY": "New York Office\\n123 Broadway\\nNew York, NY 10001\\nPhone: (212) 555-0123",\
"LA": "Los Angeles Office\\n456 Sunset Blvd\\nLos Angeles, CA 90028\\nPhone: (323) 555-0456",\
"CHI": "Chicago Office\\n789 Michigan Ave\\nChicago, IL 60611\\nPhone: (312) 555-0789"\
};\
this.getField("AddressField").value = addresses[event.value] || "";\
}');
This requires a Dropdown named "LocationDropdown" that already has NY, LA and CHI as options. It also needs a textbox named "AddressField" that has multiline set to true.

✴ Feature Highlight: Visual Search
Did you know that you can search for graphical symbols in Revu? You don’t have to count symbols individually or search for them yourself!
You can do this by using the tool Visual Search.
Navigate to the Search panel by going to Window > Panels >
Search
The Search Toolbar allows you to select the type of search.
Click
Visual to run a Visual Search.
To set the search criteria, click Get Rectangle.
Now you can draw a rectangle around the symbol or graphic that you want to search for in the document.
Select the document(s) or location you would like to search from the Search In menu and click Search.
Search results will appear under the Options section.
Tell us in the comments down below:
- Do you use visual search or text search more?

Re: Admin credentials for Revu updates
I wanted to chime in here as well. We have had great success with users who require Admin access to utilize AutoElevate by CyberFOX. The rule creation is easy and future proofs any further requests. Alot of our partners utilize Bluebeam and work with us directly to solve this exact issue!
Re: 💙 Do you consider yourself a Bluebeam fanatic?!💙
Bluebeam completely changed my workflow, especially for construction estimatings. Quantity takeoffs are now faster, more accurate, and way more organized that was my real “ah-ha” moment!
Re: Change Case command for Text
I shouldn't give away too much…but this includes a number of ways of manually and programmatically modifying textbox and callout comments. Stay tuned for more information. Once available in beta, we'd love to get your feedback.
Re: Convert shape to Area
Thanks, Isaac. Great feedback. If you aren't in the beta program already, I encourage you to join. I'll be interested to hear your take on a new tool we are working on that essentially accomplishes what you are describing. The ability to 'break' a polygon is not part of this first round, but is something we are considering.
