Multiple legends for a single tool chest

There was an error rendering this rich post.

New to the community, so hopefully I am asking this in the right place.

I use Revu for creating pdfs with specific custom icons for different cameras placed on my drawings. In many cases, I have a project that will run multiple phases, with the desire to have each phase on a separate page. I would like to have a legend on each page representing the counts for just that page.

I can have the legend property count on the entire document or on an individual page but if I add a second legend in the file for the same tool set, it invalidates the previous legend.

Just trying to see if there is a way to achieve this functionality so I don’t have to have separate pdf files for each project phase for the sole purpose of getting counts by phase via the legends.

Thanks all!

That sounds very strange. If you select 'Current' as the source page for your legend then only the markups on that page should be summarised.

Thank you for the information. With your guidance, I was able to figure out why I was seeing the issues with my legends. I had saved my legend set to total all pages to the tool chest, and was then setting it to roll up the current page. As I now know, as soon as the All Pages legend is added, if there are other pages with the same setting, it nulls out the counts so it doesn't double-count. Totally silly mistake on my part.

Thanks again for helping me get this function figured out.

Have an awesome day!!

Is there a way to reorganize form fields in Bluebeam Revu so they follow the correct tab order when filling out a form?
