So I am using quantity link to provide a actual completion percentage excel file used to track installation. It works well when I create the documents and use them locally, however when I ask others to use the file (it is basically one pdf and one excel in one folder) the linkage between the two files does not seem to be…

Hyperlinks don’t just have to navigate to a web page; they can also jump to a snapshot view in another PDF! Here’s how: Make sure that both PDF files are open and select the one that is going to get the hyperlink so it is active. Go to Tools > Hyperlink Click and drag a rectangle on the current PDF. The blue rectangle…
Anyone know where the setting lives for the bottom status bar items? My Page Scale and Page Size disappeared from my toolbar out of nowhere. Restarted Bluebeam and they came back, but now they're showing up twice. Once in the Navigation Bar Right, and again directly underneath it in what I'm guessing is the status bar. I…

If I want to make a custom keyboard shortcut and go to Revu > Keyboard Shortcuts > Commands, and then go to the "Batch" Category, there's an item for "Overlay Pages" but not for "Compare Documents". That means I cannot create a custom keyboard shortcut for "Batch Compare Documents". I want to be able to make a custom…
Using Revu, I print various sizes to various printers in our office. One printer is used for Letter and 11x17, while the plotter is used for full-size (30x42) and half-size sheet sets (15x22). I would love to be able to save custom printing templates that could be selected in the print dialog box. These templates could be…
Hi there, I have been thinking about this simple feature for quite some time and would like to suggest it for consideration. Could you please add a feature to Bluebeam that allows users to convert selected text to ALL CAPS or lowercase with a single click, similar to the functionality available in Microsoft Word and…
I've only seen one discussion around this new Pen Tool change that happened recently so I thought I would post this here. Not sure if its a new feature or a bug, but the pen tool seem to smooth out and really effects small markups. In the image below I used the default pen at the top and tried to write "Move" as an…

I have to put a job # on each drawing for my assembly. It can be 200 drawings. It would be great if when I am making a stamp to put the information on the pdfs that the next time I need to use that drawing package I can just use a find and replace to edit the job# to the new updated number instead of having to delete the…

Is anyone experiencing an application failure immediately pops up when apps are opened 0xC0000142? We discovered it is caused by Windows Update release August 11, 2026—Hotpatch KB5120994.

But they are reporting that sometimes their invitation…
I had a number of instances where I would do counts on say fire doors and separate count common doors single separate common doors double and later find that Bluebeam has added them all together as 1 type. Seems to be when using the same shape and colour for the count. This could be expensive exercise if not picked up over…
I’m developing an AI automation workflow for construction PDF drawings and would like to integrate it with Bluebeam Revu/Studio. The workflow is: Our AI detects a zone/slab region on a PDF. It generates the polygon coordinates for that region. We want to programmatically create an Area Measurement markup in Bluebeam using…
