There is a work around I use for this. You have to relink all the bookmarks, but you don't have to rewrite them at least.

Essentially, since you can't move the bookmarks, just move the pages from your new document into the old document with the bookmarks and save as.

Save the existing PDF with the bookmarks with a new name. > Delete all but 1 page of the PDF. > Paste all the pages of the new PDF into the one with bookmarks. > Delete the original page from the PDF. > You now have your existing bookmark structure in your new PDF. > Go through your pages and right click each bookmark when on the correct page "set to current view".

Hello. I'm finding staff workstations with cache folders for Studio upwards of 30 or 40 GB in size because Revu doesn't limit the size. I have 50 people to manage and having to manually or programmatically delete these folders to keep them from filling user hard drives is, FRANKLY, NOT something I should have to be doing. YOU should design your software with efficiency in mind, by not filling hard drives with old session files, so the user doesn't have to manage this manually. Please implement a feature that allows setting a specific limit on the size of these folders and deletes old folders as the limit is reached, WITHOUT user intervention.

I am a Bluebeam power user who relies heavily on macros and custom keyboard shortcuts to improve speed and precision in my workflow. I would like to suggest several enhancements to drawing and markup controls that would significantly improve efficiency for advanced users. Ive been thinking about these for a while so this post is a bit long.

First, expanding keyboard shortcut support for drawing properties would be extremely valuable. Specifically, the ability to assign shortcuts for increasing and decreasing lineweight (for pens, polylines, and other markups) would allow for faster iteration without interrupting workflow to access menus. A good reference is Photoshop’s use of bracket keys to quickly adjust brush size, which creates a very fluid experience.

Second, I would like to see a more robust scaling tool for markups. A dedicated “Scale Markup” function could allow users to:

• Scale by a percentage (e.g., 150%, 50%)
• Scale between known drawing scales (e.g., from 1/8" = 1'-0" to 1/4" = 1'-0")

This would be especially useful when reusing details across sheets with different scales, reducing the need to redraw or manually adjust elements.

Third, while the Multiply command is very useful, its usability could be improved. Direction control is currently cumbersome due to reliance on dropdown menus. It would be more efficient to:

• Separate directions into individual commands (e.g., multiply horizontal, vertical, radial)
• Or provide quick-access graphical toggles
• Additionally, allowing users to define custom angles for multiplication would make the tool far more flexible for non-orthogonal layouts

Fourth, the color picker and custom color workflow could be improved. When creating or saving custom colors, it is unclear how colors are stored and managed. In practice, adding a new custom color often overwrites an existing one, with little visibility into what will be replaced. Improvements could include:

• A clearer system for saving and organizing custom colors
• Visual indication of which color slot will be overwritten before confirming
• The ability to add new colors without unintentionally replacing existing ones
• A more structured palette or library approach for frequently used colors

Fifth, angle control and alignment tools could be enhanced. It is currently difficult to precisely match or repeat angles when drawing. Introducing on-screen guides—similar to ruler tools in iPad drawing apps or guide systems in programs like InDesign—would help users align elements more accurately. Features such as adjustable angle guides, snap-to-angle functionality, or temporary on-screen reference lines would significantly improve precision and usability.

Finally, Bluebeam would benefit from dedicated search functions across bookmarks, sessions, and other windows or panels. As projects become larger and more complex, it becomes increasingly difficult to quickly locate specific bookmarks, sessions, or items within open panels by scrolling alone. A search box that filters results in real time would make navigation much faster and more scalable, especially for users managing large drawing sets or multiple sessions.

Overall, these improvements would make Bluebeam significantly more efficient for power users who depend on speed, precision, and customization in their daily workflows. Love the program and excited to see it develop further.

I create all of my Layers with the first four digits of their CSI code and a minimal amount of words that describe the work. For example, any layers associated with cast-in-place concrete start with "03 30 Concrete", while any Layers associated with underground water lines installed by an Earthwork contractor start with "33 10 Water". Bluebeam allows Layers to be sorted alphabetically by simply clicking a box. It would be greatly appreciated if Bluebeam would also allow Layers to be sorted numerically, in the same manner as they are alphabetically.

Can we get a RECTANGLE SKETCH TO SCALE that has control point options like the text box? The text box has 8 control points that keep the shape as a rectangle regardless of what points are moved. Currently, if one of the points is moved it turns your perfectly good rectangle into a wonky Polygon. If I wanted that, I would use Polygon Sketch to Scale.
