Does anyone know of a add-in or a way to make it so every sheet that is in my sheet index is linked to the actual page? Our client is asking if that is at all possible for them to click on A5.01 or whatever from the Cover Sheet Index and go directly to that sheet in the pdf. I keep looking around but can't find a definitive answer from any website. I am using Revit 2016 and would love this feature to be possible.

From what?  I doubt you can click from a blueprint.   Do you mean from Revit or could it be from Design Review or a PDF?

They want to click on the sheet index in Bluebeam and have it go to the page that is in that PDF. They are wondering if the sheet index could act like section tags or elevation tags do when you hyperlink them when you create a PDF from Revit

I don't know of a way to do this in Revit like it does automatically with view and level tags but you may be able to do this in bluebeam.

Yeah, it seems like it's only available in Bluebeam Extreme. Sadly we have CAD. Thanks though. I will just have to tell my client that it won't work the way they want it

I haven't tried this myself but I bet you could create a custom view reference containing only a sheet number label, place only that view reference in a drafting view, then place the drafting view next to each sheet reference on your sheet index. It's alot of trouble but it would allow someone to click on it in a .pdf and taek them to that sheet. I hope that makes sense, lol.

Actually, I just tried a quick and dirty test and it will work. It would take awhile thought for a large number of sheets.
