Many times when we're answering (or asking) questions, we need to screenshot the area in question (no pun intended). One tool I find very helpful is Greenshot. It has a lot of built-in tools that make snipping and marking up screenshots very easy and clear. And it's FREE! https://getgreenshot.org/ What other tools do you…

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…

There are 2 major problems that occur that have essentially eliminated the way that I typically do estimates.
