Windows snip / screen capture directly as Bluebeam PDF feature request

There was an error rendering this rich post.

A feature that would be very useful would be the ability to use the Windows Snip tool (or a Bluebeam snip tool) on an AutoCAD drawing, PPT, Excel or any document just like Windows Snip can, but then the snip would automatically make a Bluebeam pdf that I could use the Bluebeam editing / markup tools on. Yes I know you can snip and print to a pdf but in live presentations it takes too much time to do the print, save to folder. What I see myself and a lot of others doing is making a snip live while in an active online Teams style meeting and then marking up the snips using the very underpowered lame snip markup tools. If I could snip a section of whatever was being displayed on screen and them mark it up quickly using Bluebeam markup tools it would greatly enhance the virtual Team's style meetings.

I would suggest, if this does work, is that it should work just like the snip works inside Bluebeam. Meaning, one would take a screenshot outside of Bluebeam paste it into any doc in Bluebeam.

(I currently use ShareX and have an easy time pasting it into Bluebeam.)

I hadn't considered this before because it would require a change by the snapshot tool. But I took a look and I now know how to do this with my snapshot tool of choice.

I use Greenshot and one of the options after taking the snapshot is to send it to a printer. Since print to pdf is an option, I send it there and it opens the new pdf automatically. Maybe your tool has a similar function.

Bullet points & Indent text

Alert attendee log
It would be great be able to see to whom and when the "alert attendee" has been done. Today you can see exactly who and when markups has been accepted but there are no info at all if a markup has been alerted to someone.
Keyboard Shortcuts for Assigning Statuses
It would be a huge time saver to have keyboard shortcuts for assigning markup statuses. Numerous workflows (e.g. QA/QC and design reviews, punch/back-check) involve multiple status changes for markups, and often times there are multiple statuses (or state models) to choose from. On large projects, with 100's if not 1,000's…
