I recently upgraded to the latest version of Bluebeam from Version 20.3 and it is a disaster. There are 2 major problems that occur that have essentially eliminated the way that I typically do estimates. The recent tools button now records the same tool over and over again every time I use it. So if I use a polylength tool…
Hi everyone! Spring is here, and while it’s a season of fresh starts, it’s also a good time to look at the little things that can slow us down. This month’s challenge, Spring Snags, is all about those small workflow hiccups. The moments where things aren’t quite as smooth as they could be. Not major issues, just the…
The new 'Duplicate as' feature in Max begs for one little thing more. Now we can duplicate or convert a line into a Length measurement including all visual properties corresponding to what has been set via 'Set as Default'. Very handy! The major thing missing there is the Subject. Actually this should also be a setting in…
When I use the Sketch commands (rectangle, poly, etc.) why doesn't Snap to Content work? Just doesn't make sense to me. Self answered (palmface!) - My "snap to markup" was toggled off. Unfortunately an internal system update reset all of my BB settings, I missed turning this back on. But maybe snap to markup and content…
Need ability to create some report of Session Attendees - not just who made joined, but who was Invited. Ideally, the report would be like a transmittal: list of invited attendees name of session owner start date end date if there was one list of docs
Is there a way to relocate the advance to next page button arrow to the left side next to the last page arrow? I look at Bluebeam on a laptop, and if Bluebeam is not maximized, I have to constantly resize the program so the advance arrow shows up. I know there is the down arrow that will show it but its inconvenient when I…
Would be real nice to have a "Read Only" flyout option at the "Open" file button. Many programs have this feature. Helpful when many authors are creating and marking up many files that are shared.
Deleted and Archived projects that are visible to individual users who own sessions within our organization in their Studio.bluebeam.com accounts should ALSO be visible to the IT Admin users charged with administering Sessions and Projects via the Studio Org Admin Pro portal.

We sent some PDFs with Bluebeam markups to a contractor for response. They have opened the PDFs in Adobe Acrobat and made replies to our comments there. When we open the PDF in Bluebeam, the replies aren't visible. Is there any way to get them in Bluebeam without having to manually recreate the replies? Sorry, I can't…
Is there a way to start a text box and add a selection for bullets or numbers. This would help out when typing notes and /or keeping things in chrono order
On Windows, some PDF previews appear in my folders sidebar while others do not. It seems like the ones I created show a preview, but the externally generated ones don't. Is there a setting I can change to make all PDFs show a preview?

Hi everyone, In light of the new ADA Title II regulations, many state and local governments — and the vendors who work with them — need their digital documents to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA by April 24, 2026 (or 2027 for smaller jurisdictions). This includes PDFs that end up on public websites or portals. I’m trying to…
