Re: Adding page number when creating page labels
@DerekC, Here’s one way to accomplish this:
Add a Header and Footer, and insert a “Bates Number” into one of the fields. (I usually use 3 digits, start at 1, and set [ & ] as my prefix and suffix.)
Then, when renaming, you can use the page number as one of the regions. This effectively keeps the page number as a prefix in your label, which works well when extracting single sheets from an ordered folder.
Result:
Hope this helps!
Re: Connecting Bluebeam to Google Drive
@Siem, Thanks for your response and for explaining the current options for connecting Bluebeam to cloud storage. I appreciate the clarity on using Studio and third-party connectors.
I am wondering if a direct integration with Google Drive is something Bluebeam might consider in the future. Perhaps there is also a way to directly upload to Studio, instead of downloading and then uploading to Drive, which could be more convenient for teams that rely primarily on Google Drive (or other cloud applications) when receiving new drawings.
Re: 🗓️ September 2025 Challenge - Data in Disguise!
I don’t have any fancy details like others here, but what I find most helpful about markups is being able to search and find points from my take-offs once a project is awarded. It makes it really easy to reference details in the field.
I also use the Space feature a lot. It keeps everything organized and easy to follow.
I love seeing all the powerful ways data is being used. Some really great ideas to implement!
Navgating Multiple Open Windows
Sence last up date when I have muliple windows open. Each window will come forward as i scroll over them. Used to have to click on a window to full display. My computer setting is set for click to view. Is this a glich in BB or something else?
Thank you, Christopher

Re: Org Admin - FirstName LastName Updates
@Shaya Birnbaum No. With the recent change in the Org Admin portal, multiple end-user accounts on the portal are now showing FirstName LastName instead of the user's actual names. The suggestion is not related to the user information that Bluebeam Revu pulls from the computer. Thanks for asking.
Re: It's almost National Coffee Day!☕
I LOVE COFFEE!!! Probably have 3 cups a day!? However, you'll find me with an occasional Red Bull or two if I'm really feeling spicy!
Re: Adding page number when creating page labels
Or even having it on the extraction window to include page number as a prefix to the label.

Re: It's almost National Coffee Day!☕
Being from the Pacific Northwest, coffee is a thing. (It really is)
My coffee order though, is just that coffee. Tall, light (if they have it) or a medium roast. My preferences are coffee from Central America (I told you coffee was a thing here). I do like mine a little sweet but no milk/ cream.
Not much of an Espresso drinker, but I will have the occasional Americano or Macchiato.
I do like a cold brew, and Starbuck Nitro Cold Brew is a nice treat on a hot afternoon.
Re: It's almost National Coffee Day!☕
I am coffee all the way. My go-to is a medium roast with a little milk. If one cup doesn’t cut it, I’ll pour another (and another, and another…).
