Bluebeam Revu – Quick Tips & Tricks

Snapping Panels

Few users know this, but you can have more than one panel open at a time at each panel access point. Drag a panel into the panel area. You can then snap the panel to four sides of the panel access point.

In the example below, we are dragging the “Spaces Panel” to the bottom of the panel. We can continuously snap these panels into one another.

Find Feature

Ever found yourself looking for new functionality in Revu? Good news. The “Find Tools + Commands” option was added with the introduction of Revu 20. I find myself using this tool to quickly navigate to any tool or command.

This feature is listed under the Help menu tab.

Visual PDF Content Markups
