Compare Documents / Overlay Pages - foremen, project managers, etc. often come to me wondering how to find what changed from one drawing to the next or from one floor to the next. overlay and compare are my two go-to features for getting the the answers they seek.
My personal favorites are the tool chest and profiles. It's a lot of fun creating custom and powerful tools for folks throughout the company to use in supercharging their workflows. We don't use studio very much but I have a feeling it would move to the top if we did.

One of my go-to Bluebeam features is 'Paste-in-Place' (but there are so many useful tools).

My name is Vince and I have my own Quantity Surveying company here in the UK. I'm also a BCI.
My go to feature is the Markup List - I'm looking to use every last piece of information in this to make my tenders as accurate and as detailed as possible.

Re: Optimisation for the new arm based windows machines
I completely agree. I recently purchased a new Windows PC that is ARM-based, and unfortunately, I have lost Bluebeam for work. It’s incredibly frustrating that companies like Bluebeam consistently lag behind, despite their potential to lead the way. I thought they had plans to offer a web-based version when they discontinued support for Mac, but this never materialized. Moreover, the fact that they no longer support Mac is highly inconvenient. They already had the program, which required only occasional minor updates. Instead, they abruptly discontinued it. I am not stuck using adobe or Bluebeam on my iPad. I now warn everyone to proceed with this company with caution as your investment my hit a roadblock when it comes time to upgrade everyones equipment.

📢 What's New: Revu 21.5
Release Date: 3/4/2025
We've been hard at work squashing bugs and polishing your Revu experience. Here's what's new and fixed in 21.5:
🛠️ Fixes & Improvements
📄 Page Management
- Numeric Page Labels Stick Around
- When extracting pages or using Batch Slip Sheet, your custom numeric page labels will now be preserved. No more re-labeling headaches!
📚️ Bookmarks
- Bye-Bye Freezing on Corrupt Bookmarks
- Files with corrupted bookmarks were causing Revu to freeze up. We've tackled that issue. Revu should now keep its cool.
🖍️ Markups & Editing
- Group Markup Text Editing Fixed
- Some grouped markups were being stubborn, you couldn’t double-click to edit their text. This is now resolved.
🔌 Plugins
- AutoCAD Save As Window Behavior Improved
- The AutoCAD Plugin was always sending users back to the Last Saved Folder. It now remembers where you want to save things.
- Revit Printing Bug Squashed
- PDFs printed from Revit via plugin or Bluebeam PDF Printer now properly match ISO standard dimensions.
- Excel Plugin Image Issue Resolved
- Printing to Revu from Excel was occasionally dropping images. Not anymore.
📑 Forms
- Form Field Names Stay Intact
- Copy-pasting form fields now retains their names, so your form logic doesn’t get lost in translation.
⌨️ Accessibility & Interaction
- Keyboard Navigation is Back on Track
- Checkbox/select actions in forms were ignoring the Enter and Spacebar keys. Now they’re listening again.
☁️ File Access & Linking
- SharePoint Files with Hashtags? No Problem!
- Revu can now open SharePoint files that include a # in the filename. Hashtags are now cool again.
- Fix for Broken Links from Excel with Special Characters
- Special characters in file paths were breaking links when converting Excel files to PDFs. Those links now work as expected.
That’s a wrap for 21.5!
Have feedback or found something acting weird? Let us know in the Bluebeam Community. Your insights help shape the future of Revu!

Re: Text width
Ahhhh! I re-read the post and see what you mean. Yes, its been brought up so many times….same here. I'd love to see standard "Word Processing" type features implemented for the Text Box markup tool.
