CTRL+SHIFT+V = Paste in place is one of my favorite gems.

Chasing a riser up a building? Simply place a markup on it, copy it, go to the next floor you need to locate it and hit CTRL+SHIFT+V. It works off page coordinates so the drawings must align, but it beats pulling measurements off gridlines (assuming we have gridlines) !

I use Tools —> Form —> Text Boxs to create quick calculation template that require a graphic. It is Excel work but you get other tools to do markup, e.g. arrows, C-stud section, etc.

This only works for Text and not pictures and only works of the pdf can recognize text.

Sometimes a set of plans has the wrong information on it and you need to change the text in a few places (think wrong address, misspelled name, wrong code called out, wrong detail called out, etc.).

Ctrl-F to bring up Search.
Type in what you are trying to replace.
check whether you want to search the entire document or just the current page. Hit enter
In the RESULTS Section check off the boxes of type you want to replace (click on each instance and decide whether you want that instance to remain checked or not; uncheck it if you do not want to change it).
click on the magnifying glass next to the trash can. It says "Replace Checked"
type in what you want and hit enter. It will change the text in only those boxes you left checked.

If you make a mistake it is easy to go back with Ctrl-Z before you hit save.

If you do save and find the information you changed is bad up the road, just do the Search again.
