Overlay Tool – Page Selection Error
Since the last update of Bluebeam every time I use the Overlay tool it tries to compare all the pages of the first document with the current page of the second document. This results in an error message. I can manually change the page selection to current and the overlay will work but this gets tedious when doing overlays on many page pdfs.
Before the update the tool would compare the current page of the first document with the current page of the second document. I looked at my defaults in the overlay tool and it is set to Current Page for Default Page Range so I'm not sure what else I can do to resolve this.
Re: What’s the most underrated Bluebeam feature that’s transformed your team’s workflow?
Personally, the converting tables to excel has been a game changer. Batch functions for multiple files. Slip sheeting (replacing current sheet with revised while retaining markups). Even naming pages and auto bookmarking has been massive.
Re: Save As... without markups
Oh… this is in session, an important detail.
Best advice, limited by the situation here… THINK AHEAD…
- Save a file copy as-is before adding any markups. (whether you are going into session or not)
- Format files before adding them to sessions - page labels, book marks, layers, etc.
- We cannot go back in time, so - if you need a pre-markup record of a file in session, SAVE AS, SELECT ALL MARKUPS, DELETE. If that file needs to be in the session, chgange name accordingly and add the file.
- ALTERNATIVE to the previous, if the PDF functions solely as a graphic record, print a PDF from a PDF for turn off the markups in the print dialog.

Gotta read those pop up dialogue boxes, y'all!
Always recondisder whether you check "Do not show this message again"!
Symbolic link to shift studio session data to other drive?
Hi, I want to ask here if Bluebeam product support creating symbolic link for the studio session files being stored at C disk.
The need arises because session files are taking up a large space on C disk. I am looking for options to shift this data to other drives and make up space.

Re: Change Case command for Text
This is awesome news!!!!!! Will this also include general word processing style capabilities for text boxes? Even is not, super excited for this update.
Re: Continuous measurement
@CLJE, If the markups overlap, you can move the captions.
To move captions:
- Select the measurement markup whose caption is to be moved.
- While holding down SHIFT key, drag and drop the caption to a new location.
Re: Update on Bluebeam for Mobile - Spring 2025
Hi @rvoshell ,
Our Release Notes page covers every update.
You can already join and participate in Sessions from the mobile app on iOS or Android. The setup still needs to be done in Revu or Bluebeam for Web, but once a Session is active, mobile users can join and use all 12 general markup tools.
Re: Include a button or indicator that the menu bar is hidden
Also, if you need these messsages back at a later point, you can always "reset hidden messages" in preferences.
