Brava! multi viewer allows you to add Markups and Changemarks on any document or drawing without modifying the source document (markups are saved as a separate XML file) and has the ability to burn in markups to PDF, TIFF or CSF formats using ‘Redact’ option.
Creating/Managing Markups
Markups can be created from ‘Markup Layers’ (Remarks field is not mandatory).
Also Markups can be created from ‘Viewer’ tab by pressing on markup Menu button * in the left top corner and selecting option ‘New’ or just by pressing on Annotate ** button.
Both these actions will call markup toolbar, but new markup will be saved only after adding markups and pressing Save Markup button and entering Name of new markup (you will also be prompted with save window if you will try to close Brava viewer or navigate from Viewer tab to another one).
When there are no changes to be saved Markup Save button will be grayed out.
To edit markup you need to open it by pressing on markup Menu button and selection ‘Open’ action and from selection window select required Markup and press Open (only one Markup can be opened at once).

Users can configure security settings for Markup files from ‘Markup Layers’ tab.
