Ask Greg
How do I filter the Markups list?
Filters are an efficient mechanism that can be used for working with markups on a PDF. Tons of markups are often placed on a PDF throughout the duration of a project, which can cause a PDF to appear cluttered or hard to read. In this article I will explain how the filter tool can be used to make a PDF easier to navigate.
How do I generate a Summary of the Markups list?
There are times when the Markups list contains valuable data that you need to use for a report, or process with other software applications. In this article I will explain how a Summary of the Markups list can be generated into different formats.
