Provide an option to make only filtered comments selectable
Please provide an option to make only filtered comments selectable. So when you have things filtered out, you can choose to not have your mouse grab them. When I do this, there is a reason I am filtering things out and this is frustrating. The only way right now is to grab everything you don't want and either delete it or flatten, but then you have a create a duplicate file and it's an ordeal. Just make this easy please.
Add support for High Efficiency Image File Format (HEIF)
Please add support for images in High Efficiency Image File Format (HEIF), such as compatability with Bluebeam Stapler. This is a common image format on photos taken through iPhones.

Save Default PDF Layer Settings
Feature Idea: Save Default PDF Layer Settings
It would be useful to have a way to save default layer settings within a PDF.
For example:
- Save layers as expanded or collapsed
- Save specific layers as ON or OFF
- Set a default layer configuration for the file
This would be especially useful for teams sharing PDFs. The author could control which layers are visible by default, so when someone else opens the file, they see the intended view without having to manually adjust the layers.
A simple “Save Layer State” or “Set as Default” option would make working with layered PDFs much more efficient.
One-Click Text Case Conversion (ALL CAPS / lowercase)
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 AutoCAD?
This could be implemented in either of the following ways:
- By adding a Change Case option to the right-click context menu when text is selected, similar to AutoCAD.
- By adding a Change Case button to the Text Formatting toolbar, similar to Microsoft Word.
This would be a small but very useful productivity improvement, particularly when editing notes and markups where text often needs to be converted between uppercase and lowercase.
Additional case formats such as Sentence Case and Toggle Case could also be considered in the future, but the primary need is the ability to quickly switch between ALL CAPS and lowercase.
Thank you for considering this suggestion.
Kind regards,
Day 32⚡ of Finding Underrated Tools in Bluebeam
🔍Ever struggled to find a specific number or text in a large drawing❓
Guys a simple trick in Bluebeam Revu: Easy Search!
When you are reviewing a drawing, simply hover your mouse over a number or text, right-click, and use the search option to quickly find that specific item. Instead of manually typing the text into the Search panel, Bluebeam helps you search directly based on where your mouse is located.
Why I call it a “Easy Search” option:
✅ Quickly identify text or numbers in drawings
✅ Saves time searching manually
✅ Useful for large and complex PDFs
✅ Helps you locate repeated items instantly
Small feature, but it can make your drawing review workflow much faster! Have you used this option before? Let me know in the comments. Thank You
Re: Labels are not displayed in Markup list
FYI @Doug McLean & @Troy DeGroot did a two part webinar that's on the Uchapter2 YouTube channel that you might find helpful.
Part 01 - Bluebeam + Excel Power Query
Part 02 - Bluebeam + Excel Power Query
It may or may not help in your particular use case but great content none the less.
Re: Labels are not displayed in Markup list
Hey @Cram C. The "Shelving - Laminate" is actually a comment for this markup, and would appear in the comment column. If you'd like to input a label, try using a measurement tool (perimeter, area) and input your desired label in the label field. Alternatively, use custom columns as I see you are doing with the Division field. What are you looking to produce with these markups? If it is a takeoff, please let me know and I'd be happy to assist further with your process.

Copy Hyperlinks via Right Click
Whenever I need to copy a link from a pdf I need to go to Properties, then Edit… then copy the actual link from there. This is a bit ridiculous to be honest : ) Please can you add a button, feature, contextual menu, etc. anything really that would allow the users to copy links more easily? BB help team offered some workarounds, but they are highly situational.
