    Many people, including myself, go to the Search Panel and type in the text we’re searching for. A better way in some cases is to select the text on the document, right-click, and search. This way, Bluebeam will look for the exact text, not just what you thought it was. Some fonts are hard to read, or tell the difference between certain letters or numbers. This way it finds what you select.

    Try it and let me know your tips & tricks.

    Nice trick @troy-degroot ! And to think that it was right there on the right click menu all the time… Another great example of “you don’t know what you don’t know”!

    Thank you for sharing this.
