How are the new 2026 accessibility requirements impacting your PDF workflows?

Callout Leader Settings - Allow Fixed Attachment Point Setting
Hi Bluebeam. I'm very happy that the program now allows leaders to be attached to more than one side of a callout.

It's very inefficient to have to reposition a leader line…

Colored Document Tabs
It would be helpful if Revu would allow changing the color of the document tabs. I often work with several files open in engineering field, especially when reviewing markups. The tabs become so small that the document title would be hidden. I would like to do something like this: Set my initial marked-up documents in a red…

Spaces Replace Custom Column Value
I have a custom column set up that acts as a multiplier to take off multiple floors of a building at once. If I place the markups first, then apply the space, it sets the multiplier value to "0". The default value for the column is set to "1". Is there a way that I can keep the multiplier value the same? Thanks!
