I do this with split screen. I pop out the second view and make it a smaller window. by defualt in floats above your base instance on Bluebeam (i drag it on and off screen as required). And i can also keep Thumbnails open. This way I have my main drawing, a zoomed portion and a thumbnail that shows me where I zoomed into. For drawing reviews, I would use the floating window to zoom in on project or construction notes, or smaller drawing details. If you have mastered the use of the scroll wheel on your mouse then this works quickly (scroll when 'fit to page' is enabled, ctrl+scroll when 'scrolling pages' is enabled). There are other ways to zoom in and out but they are slower.

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.

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;
}
