Search Panel
When I search something, I can navigate down/up the list using my keyboard arrows as long as my cursor remains on the search panel. Once I move my cursor away from the search panel and unto the page, the arrows stop moving through my search list and starts moving the page. I believe this should only be the case when I click on the page rather than just hoveing over it, because sometimes I just want to get a quick zoom in on one of the search results and keep going through the list with my keyboard arrows.
Convert polyline to polylength
Please allow an option to convert a polyline to polylength, or an option to duplicate a polyline as a polylength. There seems to be no reason why this function is missing. I have already drawn polylines on a scaled sheet, Bluebeam could tell me how long they are in a fraction of a second if you just let it have this function. Manually redrawing everything as a polylength is miserable.
PDF ADA accessibility compliance upcoming implementation/enforcement of US Federal Law
In Bluebeam (local and web), we need to verify PDFs are ADA accessibility compliant with the upcoming April 2026 implementation/enforcement of Federal Law.
This rule includes any future PDF documents posted on websites.
Adobe and Microsoft already have built-in accessibility checkers in their products.
Any Thoughts?
Dynamic Blocks
Please add a way to allow dynamic blocks from the markup toolsets. This would allow users to easily drop in to scale markups of products and shapes. For example I would want a toolbox to have one box for a Wide Flange Steel section, then the user would click on it, choose the size, and the markup block would read the parameters of depth, width, thickness, etc associated with that size and be the proper size when placed as a markup relative to the sheet scale.
Make Markups Easier To See, Especially for Colorblind Eyes
For anyone with color vision deficiencies, there is a way to make markups stand out from the drawing.
On the menu bar select View—>Dimmer—>20% (or your choice)
This fades the PDF but NOT the markups.
I searched this discussion board and there were no results for colorblindness, colorblind, or color vision, so I thought I would post this here and save people time.
Detached PDF Tabs Should Open as Full Windows
When detaching a PDF tab in Bluebeam, the new window does not include the full toolbar or markup tools. This makes side-by-side review difficult, especially on dual monitors. It would be very helpful if detached tabs could behave as full windows, similar to Adobe Acrobat. This would significantly improve workflow efficiency.
Studio Session Document Organization and Collaborative Document Creation
Would love to see a way to organize documents already within a Studio Session - similar to Bookmark - subsections, or even to Reorder them. Additionally, anyway to have a collaborative PDF editing session within Studio? I am in an A/E firm. We create packages for calculations that involve multiple people contributing files. It'd be great to have a way for everyone to insert their files accordingly within the same PDF file through Studio.
Search in Recent Files Tab
At any given time, I typically have over 100+ files listed in my Recent Files tab. While not all are open simultaneously, it would be extremely convenient if Revu included a search function within the Recent Files tab. This would allow me to quickly locate and reopen a previously accessed file, rather than having to scroll through the entire list and manually check each file name.
API for Org Admin Portal
It would be helpful to have an API for the Org Admin Portal. The following functions would be useful:
- Ability to automate retrieval of subscription status (# used, #free, last used/login, etc.)
- Ability to automate deactivation of users.
- Ability to automate the resending of invitations
Option to open bookmark link in separate window
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.
