I understand we a re able to export sizes and locations of markups in blue beam but i cant seem to find a method to automaticly export a scaled polyline so that i can run calculations.

The session was accidentally terminated due to participant error, and now we cannot access the PDF data that was inside the session. Is there any way to restore the deleted session or recover the markup data from the PDFs that were in the session?…

The Microsoft trend is to have scroll bars become narrow or invisible when you're not hovered over them, but that removes valuable "place" info and makes it harder to click onto the bar to drag it, and the space freed up by the missing scroll bar isn't used for additional viewing real estate - it's just wasted space that…
