How to Copy-Paste and Edit Text boxes with Formatting

Mélody · 2025-05-14T14:57:37+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I need to copy-paste formatted text boxes, and then edit it similar to this one:

Is there a way to do it in Revu? I can only snapshot the text box (but can't edit afterwards). If I copy-paste, it keeps the text, but not the format, and I still can't edit.
Any idea/trick?

Is the original textbox in Revu? Could you make it a toolset item and edit it after you place it? Or are there too many different formats to make this practical?

Can you share a snapshot of the pasted version? Maybe share a sample page with the correct formatting so we can "play around" with options? I'm not even sure how you got that grey header in your text box.

Hi Luke,
Thanks for your answer.

I've attached an original page. It's printed directly from our internal software. We need to make many edits for anything not handled by the software. That includes moving boxes around and duplicating some. Can we do that in Revu like we can do in Adobe PDF?

In this case, I need to change the while title, and FLA, MCA and RFS values.

Revu selection 1 pager.pdf

The snapshot won't let me edit the text, and I don't know how to create a custom Tool (do you have the course to do this? Didn't find it).

Thank you for your help.
