Revu 21 - Window preview pane to show location on page?

DanNiehenke · 2025-05-13T22:03:04+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Is there a method to show an overlay in the view window to display where on the page your view is currently situated? See attached example I sketched up to illustrate the desire. Also, is there a defined term for this? Only thing that comes to mind is a preview pane. Thanks!

Not sure if this is what you are wanting, but if you turn on the thumbnails it will show a small sample of the drawing with the area that is in the current view highlighted in the drawing.

pdf and editing text
Hi all. I am a relatively new user to Revu(CORE).

In the Markups list, whether applying a filter or not, the length of a line does not show up. I would like to export to excel all the lines with length property, but in the markups list the length is not shown. Are the two "length" properties the same? Is this a bug? Thanks

Required Form Fields before being allowed to save
In the past we were able to require fields to be filled out before an individual could save the form. Now, if I make a field required it only puts a red thick border around it. This allows individuals to skip a field and submit a form with missing information. It is driving me crazy. Someone please advise. Thank you! :)

I use custom stamps regularly and find panning up and down in the dropdown to be annoying since the icon to pan up or down is so small and when my pointer goes past it the drop down disappears, then I need to find my stamp again..! Please fix..
Request for Quick Dark Mode Toggle Button in Toolbar

Is there a way to disable the page counter in the Navigation bar?
