Every electrical estimator (and now Claude) uses a Symbol List toolbar (for lack of correct language) that resides vertically on right margin in REVU, or can toggle the list to top header horizontally if desired. These lists show the symbols from same project Index/cover sheet showing all symbols with associated text in…
Is the admin portal down for the US? https://org-admin.bluebeam.com/ I try to log in and bounces me to the online data. I tried support, but…
The error in the Bluebeam Revu log is: "Error mapping name to pointer in Global PDF Resource" support.bluebeam.support / Maven does not have any information. I did not find any information here in Bluebeam Community. Does anyone have some information about what this message means?
I'm creating spaces for hotel floor plans, but the space editing is very limited! Most of the plans in my case are mirrored repetitive suites. Bluebeam can flip many regular markups and objects horizontally and vertically but that does not apply to spaces. Also, copy/paste a space is very sloppy, would be great to be able…
Current Behavior: In a Revu Studio Session, the Session Host has access to information and controls that are not available to other Session participants, including visibility into which invited users have joined or have not yet joined the Session. This creates a single point of dependency on the primary Session Host. If…
After color processing drawing created by AutoCAD, the title block will be some random numbers. This only occurs to 1 of sheets, no all of them.
When I try to print a larger PDF drawing file it takes BlueBeam forever to spool to the printer. It didn't used to do this until a few weeks ago. I keep having to open the file in a web browser to print the drawing without taking an hour to spool. I'm wondering if there is a setting wrong somewhere.

What’s one Bluebeam workflow you wish was easier? Hi everyone! 👋 I've been following discussions here and noticed that many Bluebeam users face similar challenges — from quantity takeoffs and custom columns to CSV exports, reporting, repetitive markups, and project documentation. I'm an independent developer working on…
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…
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:…
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?
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…
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.
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?
Is Bluebeam able to linearize a PDF for me, e.g. put the content in order so that web viewers can see it faster? On a related note, does uploading to Bluebeam Studio Session cause any PDFs to be linearized automatically? I have found https://university.bluebeam.com/how-to-reduce-file-size/1745236 and…
Qualcuno potrebbe cortesemente spiegarmi perchè quando salvo un nuovo set e poi lo apro, me lo da come aperto ma non fi visualizzare le tavole del disegno?
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…

Hi all, I'm a site manager/plasterer foreman working in turnkey construction in Germany, using Bluebeam Revu for quantity takeoff (Aufmaß) based on the German VOB/C construction contract standard (specifically DIN 18350/18363). I've already set up custom columns in the Markup List and deduction factors, but I'd like to…
How is this done. Or only with the Beta group. Can we do this now with Revu 21.11 max? Or can we use/integrate any AI with Bluebeam. I know that Bluebeam developers use Claude. I received the email stating that we can now use whatever AI we have at our work with Bluebeam easily now. But it did not say how to do this? see…
