Hi all, does anyone know how to disable the warning message that comes up when opening documents that use Java Script, when JavaScript is disabled (intentionally)? A bit annoying as there's no "don't tell me again" option to select and I'm currently working with a mix of docs which have some JavaScript features, while also…
Just wondering what everyone is using in the field other than an IPad? Any Galaxy Tab, etc. users out there? If so, have you got any feedback?
After the recent update, my search function does not work any more. I have tried my files including the ones I have successfully searched words in before the update. Is this a bug? How can it be fixed?
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?
I recently upgraded my bluebeam from Core to complete. now my interface is on view mode, i have tried to comeback to markup mode but can not fine the markup mode please i need assistance.
When I add digital signatures, the window doesn't close after I'm done. It doesn't freeze. I cannot change locations on the document. It will stay open and let me repeat the exact process but never closes. I have to go to Task Manager and close Revu. Any thoughts? Thanks,
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.…
Hi everyone, I’m running into an issue on a new laptop and I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I have an active Bluebeam Basics subscription, but when I sign into Bluebeam on my new laptop, I get a message saying my free trial has expired and that I need to upgrade to keep using the software. The same…
The Tool Chest is overall a great idea but its very clunky. Consider adding a "+" button to add a new tool i.e. polylength, area measurement, count, to the toolbox quick and easy. Allow for an editing function for each individual tool to change the color, line type, and other setting for the individual tool. These changes…
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…
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…
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…
Please add an option to open bookmark links in separate window. This will allow people reviewing drawings, reports, etc to open up a reference link without losing their place in the pdf they are working on.
Currently, markups that are filtered out they are shown grey. Please add options beyond grey to allow also 1) Not in view, 2) shaded but in color. Another nice option would be if your arrow hovers over a filtered comment for it to be shown in color.

When you are on page X of a document and use the Insert Pages command, the window should auto-fill page X into the "Page: __ of XX" radio button. Currently, the option presented seems to be inconsistent, but it never suggests the page I am looking at, which seems like a really good guess as to where the user might want to…
Edit Element, Duplicate Tab, Rename File, etc Also, have SpellCheck be pinnable, please Thanks
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。
I have plotted two drawings from AutoCAD to PDF (each a single page). When I open them separately in Bluebeam, their layers show up as expected. When I insert the second page into the same PDF as the first page, the layers are no longer showing for the second page. How do I get the layers to come along with the PDF when I…
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 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…
There is a black line that appears when converting from PDF to TIFF. It normally blacks out the title block but have had it black out parts of drawings recently. Is there any way to prevent this black line?

New Year new problems😶 we are trying to setup our field iPads to use BlueBeam and are having issues. BB Support indicate the iPad app is no longer supported as of Dec 2025 and to use the web portal app.bluebeam.com, when we enter the web portal address in the iPad browser it directs us to download the mobile app. What is…
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…
What is this icon in Studio Session? How do I address it? Clear it?:
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…
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…
