Revu keeps windows pdf file status as open or locked even after closing the file or closing Revu
When this happens, I can't move a directory with that file. This reddit post solved it for me. You just need to disable the recent file list in Revu. But I would like to use the recent file list feature someday, now that I have to turn it off. Please fix this Bluebeam. Thanks.…

I love that it can retain vector data and have customized resolution. However, I ran into an issue trying to copy the full page. Even with a basic, unlocked, 8.5x11 page with…

New Method to Draw Curves (Using Perimeter Tool)
I know this might seem like a slightly Niche idea, however, when marking up a drawing using the perimeter tool - converting lines to arcs is slightly time consuming in my opinion. An alternative method of drawing curves would be to create multiple control points forming the curve - once again quite time consuming. My Idea…

Set a Customized Tool Chest as the Default "My Tools"
Is there a way to set a customized Tool Chest/Tool Box as the "My Tools" default, so that the symbols/markups you have in your custom set can have the number shortcuts?
