My colleague is using a surface laptop studio. He has an issue with Bluebeam and the zoom function with touchscreen. When he uses his fingers it zooms the wrong way around. Are there any solutions? Using Desktop Revu 21.
When he uses his fingers it zooms the wrong way around
When he "pinches", does it zoom in or out? "Wrong" is relative. Either way, it sounds like a laptop setting more than a BB issue. Does zooming work differently in his other programs?
He may just have to change his habits.
Enable Tablet Zoom Feature: When enabled, the zoom/pan tool appears when the mouse or pen is double-clicked or double-tapped. This tool makes it easier to zoom and pan a PDF using just the stylus. Click the stylus anywhere within the light-blue area and drag up to zoom in or drag down to zoom out. Click anywhere outside the light-blue area to pan. This tool looks like:

Thank you for the response. This issue is not present in any office apps. Only in Bluebeam, so I believe it is not a device setting issue. It seems to only be an issue with the touchscreen, rather than the mouse. We do have tablet zoom enabled. But when my colleague tries to zoom in using the touchscreen, it zooms out instead. And vice versa, meaning the zoom feature is essentially working in opposite direction, if that makes a bit more sense.
A colleague of mine is experiencing the identical issue also on a surface studio. Machine rebooted with a windows update last night. Now pinch to zoom works opposite as expected (pinch to zoom out)(and opposite the way it worked yesterday). Revu 21 was updated this morning during troubleshooting. This issue is only happening in revu irrespective of the individual pdf file. Pinch to zoom functions as expected in other office apps.
We changed his cable configuration from mini DP—>DP to mini DP→HDMI and this resolved it for some reason. Another note, he had no issues when not connected to any monitors. Not sure if this issue is cable specific. I would notify your colleague to try the zoom feature on their laptop with no external monitors.
interesting. When the external monitors are disconnected, the zoom functionality works correctly.
we uninstalled the latest windows update. the zoom functionality is still reversed only in revu 21.
unsure what caused the change in how zoom operates only in revu that has only been reported here in the last couple of days and that seems to possibly be related to external monitors
Likely a recent Revu update. The issues were only present since the date of my post. I could not find any other information on this issue.
Try turning your USB-C cables around. 😁
We are using the Revu version from 2015. We have yellow imbedded links in our PDFs that point to other PDFs. The only way these links work is if we have the folder where they are stored turned onto IE Mode. We want to get away from using IE Mode with Edge. Can someone help guide me through the process?
If I open a PDF that Does not have editable fields and I want to create one I would normally click the area then type and then click to the next area I want a text field. For some reason when I click an area to add a text field it allows me to enter text as normal, but once I click off of that area whether it is on a…
I’m using Bluebeam Revu 21.8 – Complete and trying to streamline navigation in a drawing set. My goal is to auto-create hyperlinks from callouts (e.g. 5/A401) that jump directly to the referenced detail viewport, not just to the destination sheet as a whole. I understand that Bluebeam can create page-to-page links, but I’m…
Kicking off the new year Bluebeam has eliminated the iOS version of the Revu app, so now we are stuck with cloud. Cloud seems to have less than 25% of the functions we used on the app, and are now faced with cancelling several subscriptions due to the lack of tools. Primarily we use the Toolset in the field, on tablets. We…
How can I get this brown help suggestion box to stop popping up when I go to hyperlink? Every time I switch from document to document it lowers the page, and when I click to the next it moves the windows around just enough that I have to realign where I was hyperlinking to. Its very distracting and slows down work. I have…
Any time I create something in Bluebeam and open in AI it does not show anything. Anyway to make this happen.
On older version: When the measurement scale wasn’t set on a PDF, adding a measurement markup used to trigger a prompt asking me to set the scale first. In the newer version of Bluebeam, that prompt no longer appears, and the measurement markup disappears. Now, I have to set the measurement scale before adding any…
We just bought Revu 21 licenses for our office, and we have one user who has been using it for some time on Revu 20 Standard. I've been reading through the documentation and I believe I understand what our options are but wanted to make sure. I've got our licenses distributed through the admin portal for Revu 21, and am…
Windows 11, Revu 21.08.0.13613 I have a mouse with the forward and back buttons. I use LogiOptions+ to have the buttons do a keyboard shortcut only when using Bluebeam. Specifically, I make them do CTRL+Left/Right to go to the previous/next page of the pdf instead of the default of next/last view. This worked fine for the…
I'm trying to establish a workflow for adding multiple engineers' signatures and seals to different sheets of a single pdf drawing package. Example: I have three sections to my plan set which is required to be submitted as a single PDF. Civil, Structural, Electrical. Each of the three sections must be sealed by a different…
