The issue I am running into is that there is no multiline or text wrapping of the displayed text within the Legend. I am trying to come up with a unique usage for displaying questions on drawings using custom markups and the Markups Legend. I currently run a PDF summary of all of my custom callouts to create a list of all…
How much time do you spend turning Bluebeam markups into estimates and quotes? As a security systems technician, I know how much time can disappear between marking up a drawing, checking quantities, calculating costs, and preparing a quote for a client. That's why I've been working on NEXORA Takeoff & Quote Studio, a tool…
I have changed computers to a Windows 11 capable desktop. I have installed and setup Bluebeam the same as it was on my old computer, but several of the editing buttons are no longer usable. I am somewhat of an advanced user, but not an expert. I am working on documents that I created previously, and I need to be able to…
Hi All, Just wanted to see if others are having this issue. I'm using Revu Core x64 v21.11. The issue occurs when pasting an image copied from the Capture (g) feature. The pasted image has much thicker lines than the original, often making it unreadable. Thanks
Hi I'm having a problem with the Markups list → Subject. Instead of dividing into the subject that I have assigned, I first get everything divided into the length of the X i layout??? I have no idea why it is divided that way all of a sudden Do anyone have any idea what is happing here and how to get it back to just the…
Hi all, I'm a site manager/plasterer foreman working in turnkey construction in Germany, using Bluebeam Revu for quantity takeoff (Aufmaß) based on the German VOB/C construction contract standard (specifically DIN 18350/18363). I've already set up custom columns in the Markup List and deduction factors, but I'd like to…

Please add the ability to allow some users to edit/delete other peoples comments. This can be controlled through permissions. At our organisation when reviewing drawings there is a review manager that consolidates comments before sending them back. This process occurs regardless of if we are using Bluebeam or another tool.…
When I do a search and hyperlink checked. Sometimes I get a way oversized highlight box? I think it might be caused by an OCR issue? Is there a way to refine OCR to better recognize text? Or a way to fine tune it I mean. I have tried multiple OCR options to no end. See that attachment? Any ideas would be much appreciated.…
Give option to change text capitalization uniformly per the selection. (sim to Microsoft Word options, e.g. sentence-case, uppercase, lowercase)
When i've got 20 files for a single project open and would like to pin them all to an existing or new category, it would be nice to have the option from shift and/or control-selecting file tabs at top and/or in the 'Recents' folder, then right click for the option to pin multiple tabs to a particular category. Would also…
Hi all - My bluebeam text creator and editor have stopped working, when you press 'T' or select the text icon it does nothing. I have checked my licence etc and all is OK, I have checked my drawing, and tried it on a number of drawings and its the same. I tried the same drawing on another machine and its fine. It was…
Newer BB user here migrated from Acrobat Pro, really happy with the decision to switch, it's been quite a simple transition as well. One thing Acrobat made very simple that would be incedible if BB incorporated was the joining of PDFs. Prior I was able to select multiple PDF files, right click, join PDFs and the pdfs…
We need to use polylines to represent long connected segments of conduits, and these need to get shuffled and rearranged. It would useful to be able to move a straight segment of a polyline (ie the 2 vertices and the segment of polyline being grabbed) instead of being forced to move each end point individually. Bonus…
Provide a way to export search results to a excel or text file.
Hello and good day to you. Please lend a machete to this intellectual thicket. While moving a set of plans to Studio what is the best way to do it while maintaining Action Links with Relative Paths within the plan set? I moved several plan sets to Studio and some of the links that were in those sheets referenced some…
When I try to print a larger PDF drawing file it takes BlueBeam forever to spool to the printer. It didn't used to do this until a few weeks ago. I keep having to open the file in a web browser to print the drawing without taking an hour to spool. I'm wondering if there is a setting wrong somewhere.
Curious as to who is using a Stream Deck with Revu and how you are using it. I've seen some set ups, but I'm always curious as to how others are using things
always thought this pull down menu was in bluebeam out of the box. guess not. think of this menu like the function of a simple highlight to count and provide one markup each (as in my tools), except in addition to highlight and counting, it also includes a corresponding symbol like duplex receptacle or sp switch snapshot…
Is Bluebeam able to linearize a PDF for me, e.g. put the content in order so that web viewers can see it faster? On a related note, does uploading to Bluebeam Studio Session cause any PDFs to be linearized automatically? I have found https://university.bluebeam.com/how-to-reduce-file-size/1745236 and…
Qualcuno potrebbe cortesemente spiegarmi perchè quando salvo un nuovo set e poi lo apro, me lo da come aperto ma non fi visualizzare le tavole del disegno?
When marking up text documents I invariably find myself using Adobe Acrobat. Why? - Because it has a superior 'Comment' functionality, whereby when I highlight a section of text and create a 'Comment' the whole section of text that is the subject of the Comment is left highlighted. Very easy to see. Bluebeam has…
I've been looking quite closely at the workflow between Bluebeam's Markups List and Excel recently, particularly for people using Revu for takeoffs. One thing I kept coming across was people exporting the Markups List to CSV and then using Excel formulas, Power Query, macros or their own templates to turn that export into…

When I open a set of drawings from Studio withing the Bluebeam Cloud app and check out the drawings or documents, I can't check them in after making an edit. The option to check in is not in the list and I have to go to my PC and undo the check out. Has anyone…
