Hi,
I'm a new user and want to edit some text on an existing PDF file.
Can somebody please help me on how can this be done. I can use text box to add content, but not edit the original content.
As @Doug McLean said, you can change a lot of the text by using the Edit Text tool in the Advanced Text toolbar.
Edit Text lets you add, change, or delete text. NOTE: It does not wrap lines, so it is best for simple fixes. If the page has flattened markups, keep in mind that editing text will stop those markups from being unflattened later. You also cannot use this tool on a PDF that is signed or certified.
How to Use It
Here is a link to the Bluebeam Help page for more details:
You'll have to add a toolbar, but you can do this. Fair warning, editing a lot of text in that PDF can be sketchy, but a few letters will be ok.
Add the Advanced Text toolbar to your interface and you'll be able to edit text. You can also do it from the Edit Tab. Edit> PDF Content> Edit Text.
If its a lot of text, consider exporting to Word and then printing back to PDF.
Good luck

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?
