Hi everyone! This month is all about momentum. Being almost at the halway point of 2026, it’s a great time to look at how our workflows are evolving, especially the areas where things are getting faster and more efficient. This challenge, Faster Than Before, is focused on the improvements you’ve made over time. Whether…
Here's something in Revu that needs to be improved upon. When assembling a combined document from several PDFs originally created with "Microsoft Print to PDF", duplicate embedded/subset fonts are saved in the master document. Simple workflow to demonstrate: Open a document of text, formatted with a few different fonts, in…
My team continues to struggle with the bugs involving Custom Columns in the Markups List. Our ongoing issues include missing Custom Columns every time we open Bluebeam Revu. We have to re-import an XML file that contains these Custom Columns every time we use Revu. In addition, we have had several instances of Custom…
I'm having an issue with printing to our office Canon C3325 copy/printer with multipage documents (only from Bluebeam Revu 21.9; not from Acrobat or any Microsoft App). For example, I can save a MS Word document as a pdf file and open it in Bluebeam Revu. Everything looks correct in the app. When I print the entire…
Hey guys… Is there any built in functionality to handle .DWG files ? If not is there an add-in ? Any other options would be gratefully received. Many thanks Paul
My Textbox tool no longer works. I only have one line style - solid. The cloud text does not work This just started happening an hour ago. Is it something I did or is it a bug?
Hello Bluebeam Community. We use Bluebeam to review and mark up drawings, and with a busy drawing, many times snapshots or markups will be added beyond our drawing border (page extents). Unfortunately we've found that objects outside of the page extents cannot be panned over to or zoomed in to if the PDF is viewed in…
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…
We are an A/E firm with multiple disciplines. We use Bluebeam in the field for A/E Site Observations and Punch Lists from the entire team. We set up a Studio Session for all disciplines to use in the field for their observations. One of the features we use a lot in the current Bluebeam I-Pad app is embedding photos into a…
Polygon, polyline, cloud, and their sketch/measurement variants used to be able to continuously draw angled lines at 45° increments when holding down Shift, but recently it has changed such that Shift has to be released and pressed again for each segment of the shape. This behavior is significantly more tedious than the…
Hi, I previously come from using adobe acrobat but found bluebeam alot better. they only thing that i feel this program is missing (Which i use alot being a CAD operator for a joinery company) is an export to cad/dxf function. I had a quick google, and it says that it is possible but the version im using, bluebeam revu…
Hello. Does anyone know how I can do a search for a multi page document for specific text to be blacked out and hidden? I was able to do it for a couple of pages, but I had to do it one by one, and I know there is a search and replace feature somewhere that I can redact certain text all at once, I just can't find it. I"m…
Hi community,I recently signed up for the Bluebeam Max waitlist and received the "You're on the list!" confirmation.I'm eager to start testing the AI prompts and features right away. My question is: Can I access these Max beta features for free immediately using a 14-day trial, or is a paid Core/Complete subscription…
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…
Documents are regularly uploaded by AE firms to a Session without bookmarks or poorly organized bookmarks. It then causes everyone working in the session to work inefficiently. Its also inefficient to pull the file and replace once there to add bookmarks. It would be much better if these could be modified after upload. The…
Could someone please make it not so easy to delete all of the work you have done while in the middle of a complex takeoff? For example, I am clicking points with my mouse on a large parking lot. I have already spent 10 minutes clicking various points around the perimeter of the parking area, then when I am almost complete…
We really need A gradient fill option similar to other programs. We often have to go from Bluebeam to Powerpoint or photoshop to do make gradient fills. Nemetschek makes this software and Vectorkworks and VW has gradient fill take the API from there if it is a matter of adding it.
I am trying to add a stamp to a document in plan review that has a link to local ordinances. Is there a way to keep that link active after the review has been closed so that the contractor or inspector can click on the link ?
Q1. Bluebeam Session- how can do the search option in Bluebeam sessions to find projects easily. Q2. Bluebeam Session – As now I have lots of session and like to have grouped in the session studio like Head folder and sub folder for project sessions per client or architect. Just to better the session organization.
Could there be a 0° - 360° compass feature to provide angle measurements? Looking for a tool to identify pipe angles that are entering/exiting manhole structures on drawings. Currently using a secondary software that has a 'compass tool' but would like if Bluebeam could incorporate a similar tool.
I need to modify my page dimensions without impacting the existing linework. I am plotting a Hydraulic Grade Line (HGL) and need to expand the top of the sheet to continue the plot while maintaining the current scale. Currently, using the "Page Setup" feature either crops the page or scales the drawing incorrectly. How can…
To workout the earth volume from long section details all data (like Chainage, ESL, FSL, IL etc.) needs to type manually in Excel. Is there any better way to extract the long section data from Stormwater/ drainage drawings?
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…
