Hi, First off, sorry since this probably is a basic question and super easy but I've created a tool set with shapes and I'd like to use the label function so that people really easily can understand what they are looking at. However the label feature seems to be grayed out, the only thing I can change is the comment and…
Hi, apologies if this is posted elsewhere, I searched but didn't find this on multiple search results. I also tried the in app search function to achieve this, but it didn't help. Is it possible for a filter to be added to the Documents list in a Studio Session? We have a project which has 100+ PDFs which are split into…

Everytime you are stitching or need to make a modification, the thumbnail on the right never correpsonds to the page you are on. We have a set that is several hundred pages and we have to keep scrolling down to where the page is. Can you please fix this, so the thumbnail matches the drawing?
I've attempted to submit a ticket for this, but the submit button isn't working. When dragging Revu between monitors, there is a thin dead zone along the very top of the title bar. Clicking there selects and drags the window behind Revu instead of Revu itself. Setup: Revu 21.10, Windows 11, two monitors Steps to reproduce:…
I know this issue has been brought up before, but it needs to be addressed. When I click a search result in Revu, the matching text often appears at the edge or corner of the screen, cutting off the surrounding context. Please add an option to center the selected result in the viewing area while keeping the current zoom…
The list of Sessions I have is quite long and very difficult to search through manually. To make it worse we have multiple outside entities making similarly named sessions that are very hard to tell apart when scattered through a huge list. A very simple keyword search would be such a massive QOL improvement to the…
My customers are looking for an official statement from Bluebeam on the use of PHP in relation to the recent discovery of a PHP vulnerability? A statement from Bluebeam could be: "Bluebeam does not use PHP in its solutions" Not sure it that's true. Can you help?
Outlook Classic no longer works on my machine and I have been forced to migrate to New Outlook. PLEASE add this basic functionality to the Bluebeam email function.
Hi Bluebeam Community! 👋 I've been exploring a common challenge in CCTV, access control, and low-voltage projects. What happens when equipment changes after the final as-built documentation has already been issued? A camera gets replaced, an IP address changes, or a device is moved to a different location. The original PDF…

Hello. I am trying to make a custom stamp. I'm having difficulty with the java script builder dialog box not connecting to the text items in the forms side bar. Is there anyone that can help me with this?
Got a new revision of a drawing and need to know what actually changed? Flipping back and forth between two PDFs and squinting at the differences is slow, and it’s easy to miss something. Overlay Pages stacks two or more drawings into a single PDF and shows each one in its own color, so changes jump out right away. ➡️…
Many companies build their own Revu profiles - tool sets, custom columns, classifications, production rates and formulas that hold years of estimating know-how - and install them on their staff's workstations, or license them to other firms. Today anyone with access to Revu can take that profile with them: Revu > Profiles…
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…
HEY FOLKS, WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR HELP deciphering why the first page from my docs doesn't come out with highlights, but the rest of the doc prints with highlights no problem. They are even omitted from the print preview while still showing the highlights are present in the background (see yellow circles where pink…
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 setting up a Custom Column, is there a way to only include in totals of the PDF summary header?
Is there a way to add scale for all toolboxes in an active profile? If not, how can we request this?
Has anyone developed a practical method in Bluebeam Revu to calculate earthwork quantities from grid levels or contour drawings? I am looking for a workflow where the existing ground levels and proposed formation levels can be compared systematically, preferably using a grid-based approach, so that cut and fill depths can…
Hey guys, I have an excel template I use for take-offs. While on the spreadsheet, when I set the source file to the drawing, there is a very small chance that it successfully links. Usually, I have to set the source file, nothing happens, so I then set up a new quantity link. When i setup a new link, all the other quantity…
Hi, when I want to export markup data to a csv file and we have a table grouping multiple markups the tool only extracts 1 property and not the properties of all the grouped elements. I looked solutions all over the community and none seem to answer my needs. I need to export each value as a whole group. Does somebody have…
I need help sorting out daily reports for different subcontractors. As of right now I separate them by individually extracting each page then finding the folder it belongs in, then copying the same format and changing the date. I fell though that there has to be an easier way to file these daily reports. I've tried making…
