WINDOWS PREVIEWER - Default to Fit to Page

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I contacted product support and they did not have a solution for me and suggested i post a suggestion here.

I flip through single page drawing PDFs in WINDOWS PREVIEWING PANE many times a day to find an engineering drawing I need. The problem is that the default is set to fit to page width which slows down the process of flipping through drawings. I have to hit down arrow, then click over to fit to page each time. It would be great if Bluebeam could force their WINDOWS PREVIEWING engine to default to "fit to page." Also, there doesn't appear to be any zoom features in the WINDOWS PREVIEW PANE. I had thought there used to be zoom options in earlier versions but maybe I'm thinking of adobe previewer?

Forgot to mention the work around is to binder the individual PDFs and open it in bluebeam. It works ok but it is cumbersome and not feasible when there are several hundred drawings I'm looking through.

I have the same need. The previewer defaults to "Page Width" The button at the bottom is nice, but I have to hit it on almost every PDF preview. I want to set it to "Fit Page" so I can see the whole thing and roll page by page through my document quickly, without opening it. I see the registry location to edit this, but I don't know the key to make it happen. —> Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Bluebeam Software\Preview Can Bluebeam assist with the information on this?

Bullet points & Indent text
With more people using bluebeam as a CAD/drawing program. It would be nice if bullet points/numbers points with auto text indent was a feature.
Auto Save
It would be helpful to have an autosave function for PDFs being used in Revu. Currently this does not exist and would be very beneficial.
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…
Optimisation for the new arm based windows machines
I hope you're doing well. I'm reaching out because I have a couple of suggestions that I think could make Bluebeam even better. First off, I've been really impressed with the new ARM-based Windows machines, especially those using the Snapdragon Elite X. They’re powerful, have great battery life—kind of like MacBooks in…
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.
