Re: Shortcut for a personalized markup
- place the custom markup tool in a pdf and press escape (I was only able to modify the existing ones: ex: callout, cloud, text, etc.). I wanted to use blue instead of red, see picture bellow.
- right click the markup and choose set as default.
- Click on Revu on the top ribbon and choose keyboard shortcuts.
- Click on the markup you want to reassign. and enter the letter or number under the shortcut box.
- If you don't want to reassign, copy the shortcut letter associated with that tool.
- go back to the pdf and enter the letter assigned to that markup and the custom markup will be placed in the document.
- press the escape key and you can close out of that document.
- Every time you want to place that markup tool, enter the letter or number assigned to that markup.
I hope this helps.
Re: How to print markups outside the document area
I don't think you can get that to work. I'm pretty sure you can only print what is in the confines of the page. It might be good to determine the space you need to be able to add all of those markups to a page, then create a blank page, screenshot the original document, copy each of the markups outside the original page area, paste them into the new document, and then print that.
The reason I don't think it's possible is because of what happens when you go to flatten those markups. They get erased outside the page boarder. The markups are still exportable, and the view can still be shown to others from Bluebeam, but I think you have to create a document that's large enough to contain everything in order to print everything.
Re: How to print markups outside the document area
The markups have to be on the sheet for them to Print. I see two options for you.
A: Export the markups (either to a spreadsheet or a PDF).
B: Change the page size, so that the markups on on the "Paper" but outside of the original drawing.
To Do this, click on "Document", "Page Settings", Select either all pages, or current page.
- Change the Media Size
- Remove "AUTO SCALE"
- Adjust the scale.
- You can also might also want to center the media by adjusting the offset "X and Y).
Hope this helps.
Re: Paste in Place not pasting IN PLACE - help!
Well, maybe - except that the tech support guy had the same issue, so it's probably not a problem with my installation.
Re: Digital Signature limitations
Wonder if this is tied to the ongoing BB development in all the FEDRAMP security standards that have been discussed in other posts?
I could see documents made with all that encoded being incompatible with software that did not have it baked-in and causing a forced quit/crash seems a good way to make sure the document security is maintained.

Thanks, That is where I posted it.
Re: create checkbox's in stamps
There is an article about creating interactive stamps. It's not too complicated once you get the hang of it, but getting started can be a bit slow. For my part, I used one of the predefined interactive stamps to adjust the design and fields to my needs instead of creating a completely new stamp from scratch.
If something didn't go as I envisioned, AI was able to help me fix the code.

Re: A short key for rotating a markup/text/image 90 degrees clockwise

I would add that it should also work before placing the item, would save so much time and frustration.
