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
Re: AutoMark: Non-standard Font or Embedded Text Recognition?
It looks like SHX font (as opposed to a truetype font) which is probably represented as linework and not text in pdf files. If you run OCR then it should become recognizable as text.
Is there a way for Revu to import security certificates/Digital IDs from Adobe Acrobat?
Hi all, my company is in the midst of converting from Adobe Acrobat to Revu, and I wanted to be able to sign documents using the same Digital ID I have used. It seems that Acrobat can only export certificates to FDF or PKCS#7 (pk7) files, and Bluebeam can only import PKCS#12 (pfx) files. Is there a feature within Bluebeam that would allow me to use the same ID?

Re: Blueprints
That works. I did not know that it was currently possible, but I now see it is. Thank you for the help Jes.
Re: Missing function, being able to change icon color from blue to red color
Hi, I would also like to see this feature added back to Revu. Here is a screenshot showing the current admin setting menus, and the current look of the thumbnail:
It would be useful if we can change these to red at the very least to make it easier to distinguish from MS Word and Google Docs files.
