Using the auto font size in your markups and applying the auto size text box will cleanup all your text markups for that crisp, professional image in your construction, architecture and engineering firm’s PDF documents. This works great for those of us with bifocals, but if you aren’t careful, this may still leave you with text boxes that are longer than they need to be. In the textbox, callout and cloud+ markups properties tab, there’s a check box option next to the font (found under the appearance section) that will auto size fonts.

When you want your text to automatically auto size, based upon the size of the text box you drag out, Revu has a setting for that too. Rather than applying Auto-Size Text Box Alt+Z on each markup as you place them, just use Ctl+A to select them all and then Alt-Z to tidy them up all at once (as shown in the right image above). Using the new Revu 2016 shortcut Alt-Z, Revu will tidy them up by resizing them to fit tightly around the text. Here’s how you can have Bluebeam Revu auto size markups for you. This appears a bit messy and is easy and quick to fix. If you have a line width greater than zero set in the properties you’ll often have a box larger than the text you’ve typed (see left image above).

Bluebeam Revu’s Text Box, Callout and Cloud+ Markups all use a text box that you can drag out to size. Adding markups can be a bit tricky especially when it comes to text. Bluebeam Revu has helped many AEC professionals project a professional business image on PDFs.
