Editing Microsoft Purview Labeled PDFs
We recently labeled a file PDF with Microsoft Purview labels. Once we did this, we found our users were unable to open the files. We followed the guidance for integrating Bluebeam and were able to get past that initial issue:
Use Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) with Bluebeam Revu | Bluebeam Technical Support
We can now open files that are labeled, but we can't edit them even if we have the rights to do so.
Purview labels work in Adobe to edit.
Can this feature be added to Bluebeam Revu?
Feature Request: Enable Bluebeam Revu MPIP (Microsoft Purview Information Protection) for editing
Feature Request: Enable Bluebeam Revu MPIP(Microsoft Purview Information Protection) compatibility for editing
Currently, customers can only view MPIP protected files in Revu. This means customers cannot add comments or set stamps in MPIP classified documents, so they cannot do their job. Please update this integration functionality with these editing functionalities.
Add multi level sort option for markups list
Currently the markup list display in Revu may only be sorted by one column at a time. This suggestion, submitted in conjunction with @Don Walke, would be to add multi level sort capabilities to the markups list display.
While markups exported to a CSV can be sorted easily in Excel, at times it would be helpful when reviewing markups to be able to sort the markups list in Revu by multiple variables.
Remove Requirement to Log Back In Every 7 Days
It is incredibly frustrating to have to log back in after 7 days of inactive use. We have separate licenses procured for our meeting rooms and every time we have to hunt around for usernames and passwords. I called technical support and they stated it was for security issues which is total bunk. There are plenty of software applications that require extensive security that don't require you to re-login after 7 days of non use. Bluebeam please fix this!!!!
Open Document Tab Management
I regularly have 10+ tabs open and after 4-5 are open the tab bar becomes quite useless. I would love to see some form of tab management brought in. Some thoughts as follows
- Use the File Access Panel with "Open Documents" section added
- highlight currently active document
- manual drag to reorder
- listing tabs vertically with 'x' to close
- give the option to pin documents just like recents
- If "Vertical Tabs" are added, give the option to disable the horizontal tabs across the top
- Advanced features like grouping would be nice.
- Manual - Add groups which open documents could be added to
- Automatic Non AI - auto groups based on commonality in file path, or filename. I recognize this is a lot trickier, but could be incredibly powerful.
- File path method - user sets an "anchor" folder (ie: Projects) where subfolders to that are the different project groupings?
- Filename - User Added keywords to trigger groupings? (RFI, Submittal, PO, IFC/IFT, Spec, Div)
- Automatic AI - Certainly a use where AI could be used
Additional Features that would be nice
- The ability to search inside "File Access" would be huge.
- Visual indication of files that have been modified and not saved
- Maybe color indicators?
- Preview popup on hover
- Lock/Protect a tab so it adds a second verification so it can't be closed accidentally.
- if horizontal tabs stay, don't truncate the name of the currently open tab.
Numbered Lists and Bulleted List
This has been requested many many times in the past by many Revu users. WHY is there STILL no numbered/bulleted list function??
Studio Admin Pro - Deleted and Archived Session/Project Visibility
Deleted and Archived projects that are visible to individual users who own sessions within our organization in their Studio.bluebeam.com accounts should ALSO be visible to the IT Admin users charged with administering Sessions and Projects via the Studio Org Admin Pro portal.
These deleted and archived sessions are sometimes in these statuses erroneously and individual users may not know who the original owner of a deleted or missing session was. When they ask for help locating or recovering a session or project, IT Admin staff must currently go from person to person or log in as users that have left the firm one at a time to try to locate the data in the event something was missed when a staff member left the firm. This is time consuming and obtrusive to current staff who must then be interrupted to log into their accounts and assist with the investigation and for IT.
When we purchased the licenses for Studio Admin Pro, I assumed this functionality would be a basic part of this action and was very surprised when I searched for a missing job only to discover I was unable to see it, but was able to find it from a user account.
Please add tabs in the Org Admin Pro "Studio" tab to allow the admin there to see Deleted and Archived Sessions and Projects and restore or re-assign them.
Better way to draw arcs or poly arcs
We need a better way to draw arcs or poly arcs, like in cad or illustrator.
BTX & BPX Editor and a potential fix for jumping tools
Hi everyone,
I’ve been working on a small hobby project that aims to make it easier to edit tool chests and profiles for Revu. I’m now curious to see how it works for others.
If you’re interested, feel free to give it a try and see how it works for you. I’d really appreciate any feedback, suggestions, or ideas for improvements.
Everything runs directly in your browser. Any profiles or tool chests you open are processed locally on your own computer and are not uploaded, shared, or stored anywhere else.
The site may initially appear in Swedish, but you can switch the language to English using the language selector in the top-right corner.
This is something I work on in my spare time, so development happens whenever I have time available. The project is still a hobby project and not a finished product yet, so some features may behave unexpectedly. But the more people who test it, the easier it will be for me to improve it, especially if there’s interest in the tool.
Thanks in advance to anyone who wants to try it!
-Update-I’ve updated the site with a function intended to fix profiles and tool chests where the tools change position or “jump around” within the tool chests.
When I’ve tested this myself, the problem seems to disappear. However, I would really appreciate it if others who are experiencing this issue could try loading their tool chests or profiles into the editor, saving them again through the editor, and then importing them back into Revu to see if the problem is resolved.

Bluebeam Max feature idea - convert handwritten markups
I have a few clients that always print paper sets to do QAQC reviews. Then out comes the red pen and the chicken scratch comments.
I would love a feature where you could have scanned handwriting recognition and the AI could turn that handwriting into a real markup and place it appropriately on the PDF drawing.
