Re: Ctrl-E Keyboard Shortcut
I'd argue that it is opening in the appropriate Outlook. :)
I'm trying not to switch for as long as I can. The functionality that is currently lost by switching cripples my current workflows, so I DO NOT want to switch anytime soon. lol
Re: how do I filter out only my mark-ups to transfer to another PDF
It would be good to see your Markup List and what customisations you have made. The point is to consider the Markup List as a database and look at how you can manipulate the data. My apologies if you are not new to this concept 🙂.
Jes's answer is perfect in answering your specific question, but what if there are other markups? Or only select a few of your Makups. One simple idea would be to create Custom Statuses with a "Transfer" and potentially a "No Transfer" option and then create a filter to show only the "Transfer" status markups. Then save this Filter in your Profile for future use.
In Jes's options above, I tested No. 1 and it will transfer ALL Markups - you could use the Filter for "No Transfer" to isolate all the Markups that you dont want and delete them.
Jes' No. 2 option works.
Oh have a look at Slip Sheet and or using Sets to update Markups automagicly from one drawing to another. 👍️
Re: Blueprints
Glad this is what you are looking for, @Humberto Espitia . The beauty of this exercise is that you can create corresponding Bookmarks with one click - from "Page Labels" option in the Bookmarks dialog.
It is the same, vice versa, if you use page regions to create the Bookmarks first.
Re: how do I filter out only my mark-ups to transfer to another PDF
Assuming page numbers are the same in both PDFs, try
- Markups List —> Filter by Author —> select MUs —> Export —> Import
or
2. Markups List —> Filter by Author —> select MUs —> Copy —> Paste
Re: Turn off Brown Help Box at top of screen when highlight feature is in use.
I think the banner you mention is related to the status bar. You can try to press F8 or go to Tools > Toolbars > Status Bar and see if that toggles it off.
Re: VBA Add in
you can.
You can use the Stapler outside of Revu to combine pdfs. You don't have to open Revu to use it. You can find it in your Windows Start menu.
There are some macros you can use within Revu as well. Search for Using Scripts in Revu in the help menu
✴️ Feature Highlight: Dimmer
Did you know that you can tone down or dim the content layer of a PDF to make markups easier to see?
How?
Just go to the View menu » Dimmer » Dim Content. The effect can be seen in this example:
Set the level of dimming
- Select a percent from the Dimmer menu.
- The lower the percentage, the less intense the underlying PDF content will appear compared to the annotations.
Dimmer set to 100%
Dimmer set to 30%
⚡️ Bonus Tip: Press CTRL+F to toggle the dimmer on and off

- When have you found dimming the content layer of a PDF beneficial?
- Or, if you didn't know about this feature, when would it have been beneficial for you?
Re: Missing function, being able to change icon color from blue to red color
That option might have gone away with the UI overhaul in Revu 2018. It's been gone for a while though, not sure exactly when.
Re: Stamping PDF docuemnts with Date and Signature
You can make the stamp without using JavaScript by using Dynamic Fill.
Just add a text box to the stamp and choose "Date" from the "Dynamic" dropdown.
See the example below.
Note: The date shown will be the date the stamp is applied, and it can't be changed.
Hope this helps.
Re: Match filter in batch overlay
Unfortunately, the very nature of matching data requires (in most cases) for the matching requirements to be exact.
I really don't think that Revu has the coding to allow for 'fuzzy' matches the same way that Excel does.
Your best bet is to make sure your page labels are they same before you run your processes.
Wish I could be of more help
