Tips and Tricks:

Automatically autosize text boxes:

If you always want your text boxes to be the perfectly sized
for the text they contain, go to Settings > Preferences >
Markup and select the checkbox “Autosize Text Box and
Callout Markups.” Or use keyboard shortcut Alt+Z to autosize
a single markup.

Open hyperlinked content in a new document tab:

Open hyperlinked content in a new document tab
Clicking a hyperlink in Revu will take you from your current
document into the linked content. However, if you’d like to
stay where you are and open the link in a new document tab,
simply hold down the Ctrl key while clicking the link.

Export PDFs to Word or Excel format:

You can bring your PDF back to
Microsoft Word or Excel by going to File
> Export and then pick your preferred
export file type. This is especially useful
if you need to make many changes to a
text-based document, but only have the
PDF version.
