Hello Everyone,
I am looking for help because some of the symbols, while using the "Arial" font, turn into squares. What could be the issue?
Thank you in advance!
@JoseQuezada - we have dealt with this issue for years as well. The easiest solution is to not use Arial. Apparently Windows and Arial (especially Bold or other variations) don't get along very well sometimes. We have changed all of our markup tools to default to Helvetica to avoid this issue as much as possible.
Option two, which is not as reliable, is to create a preset under Reduce File Size to drop embedded fonts. Click on Edit next to Custom Preset and uncheck all the options except on the Fonts tab, check the Drop Embedded box. Save it as something like "Drop Embedded Fonts" and then you'll have it available anytime you need it again. It's not a full proof way to fix the text, but it's something else you can try - especially if you need to use a font like Arial that usually acts up, especially with special characters.
You can see which fonts are a part of the file under Document Properties > Fonts

This has been an issue for several editions of Revu. I have switched to Helvetica and not had any issues.
Thank you for the response. That's great to know
I have usually found that it is specific to the PDF. Chances are that there is a corrupted embedded font. Could possibly fix by re-creating the doc.
Thank you!
Yes, it appears that this could be the issue. Is there a way to see the corrupted font?
Unfortunately, it is not my PDF, and I cannot regenerate it.
For now, I will have to switch to a new font.
Thank you Rebecca, That makes sense. I will make sure to embed the fonts to minimize issues
Touchdown! Worked changing font. Thank you.
Help! I need to open AutoCAD files and can't find the basic instructions to find and install the plugin that will enable me to open, mark up, and save native dwg format files into a new pdf markup.

I marked up a cloud in Revu and added three comments to the markup. On the web version, I can see all three comments. However, on the iPad, only two are displayed, and the first comment is not visible. Does anybody know how to display the first comment on the iPad?
I have a snapshot that I saved in my toolbox. The picture went away and the tool was grayed out, so I deleted it. The empty snapshot got onto my document while I was doing this process. I did not realize it at the time and continued marking up the document. Everything else is working properly. Now I have the grayed out…
Hi—has anyone found a way to navigate the menu bar using alt and arrow keys (or something else)? I'm currently seeing that pressing alt highlights "revu" on the left, but no key can drop it down or shift the highlight to a different menu bar option (eg document). I also notice that if alt is pressed, then a menu bar option…

Some of the consultant drawings I receive have a protected scale and when taking measurement and areas it doesn`t show up in the markup list. Also the drawing is blued out. Is there away around this Many thanks Murray
I've been trying to find anything related to this, but all I see is default tool 'settings' but I want to change the tool, not settings of the tool. The default selected now is the pan tool but my most used tool is the select text tool and when I open a new PDF or have multiple opened and then I close one, Revu will change…
Hello, I have used the Grab feature for years and it is one of my most frequently used tools. Recently, however, when I grab from one drawing and paste into another, the file size increases from around 1 MB to 2 GB. If I switch off “Take Vector Snapshots”, it resolves the file size issue and the drawing size hardly…
Hey, Is anyone know why Revu is crashing. I open it uplaod plans start measuring and it just crashes. I have uninstalled and re-installed. I have a very time sensitive project that I am doing and need it now and support is over 24hrs away. Any help be much appreciated. Thank you
When working on a file, Bluebeam will freeze then shut down. It's been happening quite frequently. Why is this happening?
