Zoom and scroll

There was an error rendering this rich post.

It is very difficult to navigate in a document i BlueBeam Revu.

In almost all other programs the mouse wheel is used to scroll and you zoom by holding down CTRL and roll the mouse wheel.

Sometimes in BlueBeam Revu you zoom without holding down CTRL and you scroll when holding down CTRL. Sometimes nothing of this works or is reversed and you have to click the "hand" or the "cursor" buttons to reset the function. But still the function is reversed compared to almost all other programs (for example Microsoft Word, Excel, PDF Exchange etc.).

Could you please follow the convention:
Scroll: Roll the mouse wheel
Zoom: CTRL + roll the mouse wheel

BlueBeam is a very good program but this lack of conventional functionally makes i frustrating to use.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Niklas - which view is being used? Selecting Scrolling Pages will achieve the scroll and zoom that you want. Larger page dimensions will open in One Full Page by default. Scrolling Pages can still be selected.

Additionally, you can go into Revu → Preferences and set both modes to scroll with the wheel, allowing you to zoom with CTRL when needed.

I have tried to set both to “scroll” and also to "zoom".

The problem is that there is no continuity. One minut the mouse wheel will scroll, the next it zooms. Sometimes it is locked, so if it zoom I cannot scroll, even if I hold down the CTRL-button and roll the mouse wheel. The next time it is the other way around; I can only scroll even if I hold down the CTRL-button and roll the mouse wheel.

It is very frustrating when it works one way one minute and the other way around the next minute.

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.
Numbered Lists and Bulleted List

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…
