Hi all, I've recently been following the hype about working out of Bluebeam Sets as I'm looking for ways to streamline our workflow. I did have a question about viewing markups particularly when you are working with individual extracted drawing files as that seems like it gives you the best performance when working off of…
Hi everyone! A new year is the perfect time to reflect. As we kick off January, we’re looking back on the lessons learned from real-world use of Bluebeam Revu over the past year. This month’s challenge is all about sharing the insights, realizations, and “if I knew then what I know now” moments that shaped how you work…
is Bluebeam going to add more tools to the cloud based app? such as stamp, measure/dimension and count.
Hi Bluebeam Community, With the recent announcement about the upcoming retirement of Revu for iPad, we want to share more about where we’re headed with Bluebeam on mobile. We’re not aiming to recreate Revu for iPad, and we’re also not trying to squeeze a full desktop experience into your hands. Instead, we’re focused on…
Desired features: Select multiple fields and be able to assign the same format for all selected fields. Assign a default format for new fields. Use the column heading as the start of the field name (similar to row 1) in subsequent rows when using Automatic Create Form Fields. Recognize the location of a field when a field…
Hi Bluebeam Community, With 2025 closed, I’d love to kick off a discussion about what enhancements you’re looking forward to most in 2026, and also reflect on what you’ve learned or discovered this year. Looking ahead to 2026: Which potential feature or improvement gets you most excited? For example: AI-powered workflows…
Hello everyone! Can someone please tell me where the experts are on utilizing BB cloud on an iPhone in conjunction with their BB revu on their laptop! I have too many questions to ask here!🙄
Does Bluebeam realize at least half of their customers use MDM? Did you know when you remove an app from an app store, it removes the app from all MDM devices thanks to the use of VPP Tokens? I am very glad they took such a careful approach to rolling out the new Bluebeam cloud! Now our 200 field guys have iPads they cant…
Why is there no stamp and count tool in the cloud app? the cloud app honestly became a basic adobe reader. the old app seems to be more versatile than the cloud. My guys use the dimensions, stamp, and count quiet a lot in the field and in our shop. Although its an Construction based app. we also use it for Purchase Orders…
My autofill descriptions list for the Count Subject has grown too big. When I begin to type in the Subject field of the "Count Measurement Properties" I get a list that is too big. I would like to clear this suggestion list. They are not "Subjects" that I have used in current PDF I am working on. They are the combined…
Hi Bluebeam Team, I am writing to suggest a feature update that would significantly improve the workflow efficiency for users who rely on the Snapshot tool (G). Current Issue: Currently, if a user takes a snapshot and realizes there is excess content or "clutter" around the edges, they must delete the snapshot and re-take…
When running a search function on a sheet, the window should center on the item when selecting the result. Often when searching the highlight shows it nearly off page view and you have to manually recenter the image to see what you need to view. It would be incredibly more efficient to have the result center on the page…
While it is nice to be able to sort markups by column heading, it would be better if we could sort by more than one header without changing filters. Such as Subject then Label 2 column order functions.

Did you know that you can create markups using an image from a PDF using the Snapshot tool? First, go to Edit > Snapshot and drag a box around the shape you want to use as a markup. Then, click anywhere on the PDF and select Paste. Right click on the shape and select Properties. You can make any changes to the markup’s…
I have been using bluebeam for a long time and it is great, but does have one big shortcoming regarding the way counts are setup and performed. I would ideally like to see a project based count legend that can easily be created and updated/copied for specific project needs. I am a plumbing and HVAC estimator and the…
The Search tool includes a progress indicator that sort of blends in. OK, since I already know about it. For a new UI/UX, the small (body font) percent complete, especially for "Current Document" searches in large documents can lead to repetitive clicking until that progress indicator is spotted. It would be trick if there…
日揮グローバルの原です。 先日、Bluebeam Org Adminにて「Org Admin Pro」という新しい管理機能のポップ広告が表示されました。 基本の Org Admin にプラスして、下記機能の追加があるようです。 ・プロジェクトごとのアクセス権を細かく設定できる ・外部の人（会社外）をブロックできる ・プロジェクトの所有権を引き継げる ・利用状況のレポートが見られる 「セキュリティ強化」や「複数プロジェクトの管理」に便利みたいで、もし導入を検討している企業様などいましたら、ぜひ情報共有させていただきたいです。
Current method of watermarking via PDF stamps is cumbersome and time consuming. Suggest implementing a dedicated watermark tool apply text / image watermarks quickly and easily. Attached example from PDFXChange that I currently use instead of the Revu workaround.
When I search something, I can navigate down/up the list using my keyboard arrows as long as my cursor remains on the search panel. Once I move my cursor away from the search panel and unto the page, the arrows stop moving through my search list and starts moving the page. I believe this should only be the case when I…
Hello, I received an email from Bluebeam stating that I was a part of their beta testing community. I have explored the new features, such as offset and markup conversion, but I haven't found the AI prompt capability. Is this available with BluebeamMax beta? I have paid subscriptions for Bluebeam (premium) and Claude.…
We are using the Revu version from 2015. We have yellow imbedded links in our PDFs that point to other PDFs. The only way these links work is if we have the folder where they are stored turned onto IE Mode. We want to get away from using IE Mode with Edge. Can someone help guide me through the process?
How can I get this brown help suggestion box to stop popping up when I go to hyperlink? Every time I switch from document to document it lowers the page, and when I click to the next it moves the windows around just enough that I have to realign where I was hyperlinking to. Its very distracting and slows down work. I have…
I'm trying to establish a workflow for adding multiple engineers' signatures and seals to different sheets of a single pdf drawing package. Example: I have three sections to my plan set which is required to be submitted as a single PDF. Civil, Structural, Electrical. Each of the three sections must be sealed by a different…
I am trying to purchase a license but I can't because while I am trying to check out the system asks me to sign in and this leads to unknown authentication error. What is that? I want to pay money.
I run a Mac in my construction office. It is great, but the only point of friction is Bluebeam Revu. I have run Parallels with Windows, in the past, to keep Revu on my computer but (although it shouldn't) it inevitable slows the machine a little. I am currently using a sub-standard PDF viewer with limited construction…
Did something change in Bluebeam on December 17th? Up through December 16th, the email subject line for all of my incoming Bluebeam invites were formatted with the project file numbers, name of municipality/project, and the submission type. Starting December 17th, the subject line for all of my Bluebeam invites say "You've…
Hi, support for PDF/A and all the different versions 1,2,3, a,b,u is not very common among all the different pdf-software out there. However all the more important is to have a good implementation and support for PDF/A in our best pdf-software Bluebeam-Revu and we actually need it very urgently. But PDF/A is just…
I have a form and am trying to mail merge data into the form. Could you please advise how do I create a .dfd file with my data that I want to include in the mail merge
I noticed that starting on 12/16 the invitation emails from BB for a Session no longer show the full Session title. They have always come in showing this example: You've been invited to Studio Session BP25-1257 Review 2 As of 12/16 the subject line is only showing this: You've been invited to a Studio Session Is everyone…

Hi, I am using Revu Complete and one of the main reasons I got it is for Batch Slip Sheeting. However, I find this feature to be very inconsistent at best. 2 main issues: The biggest problem is that every time I use it, whatever sheet is replaced, it's book mark is broken. So if I import 50 sheets, then save, those fifty…
Just wondering if anyone else has had this error message pop up in the last few days?
Windows 11, Revu 21.08.0.13613 I have a mouse with the forward and back buttons. I use LogiOptions+ to have the buttons do a keyboard shortcut only when using Bluebeam. Specifically, I make them do CTRL+Left/Right to go to the previous/next page of the pdf instead of the default of next/last view. This worked fine for the…
I’m using Bluebeam Revu 21.8 – Complete and trying to streamline navigation in a drawing set. My goal is to auto-create hyperlinks from callouts (e.g. 5/A401) that jump directly to the referenced detail viewport, not just to the destination sheet as a whole. I understand that Bluebeam can create page-to-page links, but I’m…
We just bought Revu 21 licenses for our office, and we have one user who has been using it for some time on Revu 20 Standard. I've been reading through the documentation and I believe I understand what our options are but wanted to make sure. I've got our licenses distributed through the admin portal for Revu 21, and am…
Any time I create something in Bluebeam and open in AI it does not show anything. Anyway to make this happen.
On older version: When the measurement scale wasn’t set on a PDF, adding a measurement markup used to trigger a prompt asking me to set the scale first. In the newer version of Bluebeam, that prompt no longer appears, and the measurement markup disappears. Now, I have to set the measurement scale before adding any…
Good afternoon, I'm dealing with plans where every page is a differant scale. When I switch the scale on a differant page, it changes qunatities for all pages. I tried using viewports but it won't show me the total rollup on the bottom of the whole project. Any ideas? Thank you!
