In our environment, we have "office workers" who predominantly have Adobe licenses and "field workers" who all use Bluebeam. I've recently been told when one of the office workers marks up/makes notes on a PDF with Microsoft Edge, this cannot be seen by the Bluebeam users. I've tested this and the notes can be seen in the…
Hi All, I would like Bluebeam create Page Labels and Bookmarks from the bookmark meta data in my PDFs. However in their PDF exports AutoCAD includes a Sheet and Views bookmark above the sheet number and description one. This seem to mess up Bluebeam's ability to create the labels automatically. I would use Page Area option…
As I understand it, Revu for iOS will be removed from the App Store at the end of this year. Users are recommended to use Cloud instead, which imo hasn’t caught up with Revu for iOS, yet. Furthermore Revu for iOS could be used by users for editing in Studio Project without a subscription. Will Cloud also support this? I’m…
Hi all, I have these issues that I noticed today. If I do a visual search, the search returns the results correctly. However, when I click the lightning bolt icon to apply count, it doesn't do anything. Another thing that I notice is when I try to activate the dynamic fill tool, it gives me this error: I tried to multiple…
In the past month or so, bluebeam has been crashing when editing text boxes. Doesn't always happen, but this is extremely frustrating. It's also been buggy with properties menus disappearing or showing properties for a markup that I didn't select.
How do I erase a mark up I did on a drawing?
This discussion was created from comments split from: Misbehaving Toolbars.
Hi All, I have single PDFs of my Arch., Struc. and Civil drawings. I would like to Slip Sheet new revisions of individual sheets into these plans separately and still have access to the previous revision's sheets. Is this best done through Sets or is there another way. Sets seems to be used to combine single PDFs into…
Does anyone know if there is a quick way (or any way) to do a bulk 'Find & Replace' on a markup? For example, I have x number of yellow widgets on a markup but the specification changes and I need to replace all the yellow ones with red ones instead. I want to be able to tell Revu to find all the yellow widgets, delete…
By using the email feature, the emailed sheet took two weeks for delivery! Where are these files stored before sending or how did I initiate the 'send' button two weeks later!!:)

Please add folders within sessions for document organization. This will make navigating to the documents within a session cleaner and easier as documents within a session can add up and be cumbersome to have to search through to find what the user is trying to open. This feature would be greatly appreciated by all. Thank…
Hi all, my name is Aily, and I'm the Manager of Customer Education at Bluebeam - nice to meet you! I want to learn how you prefer to train, onboard, or up-skill your internal employees on everything Bluebeam, so I can make sure we're allocating the right resources to the right kinds of training (aka help me help you!). If…
On the Bluebeam website, under "Resources" > "Need an older version of Revu?" there is only v20 and older. This needs new options, like v21.6. Currently the need for this is high, because v21.7 has a highly annoying "new feature" while drawing polylines, areas and contour and area measurement. Something goes visually wrong…
I just installed version 21.4 this morning on a second work machine, and encountered the common problem of Print to Bluebeam being broken during install. I resolved the problem using the following steps (Windows 11, 64 bit). I have admin privileges, so make sure you can make such changes before starting. I can't guarantee…
While I wait for the influx of new members from the PHX/NorCal bug webinar I thought I'd ask about your experience with making custom hatches and line styles in Bluebeam (the topic of the webinar). There were some great examples of custom hatches and lines that made a lot of sense for those users. One was a civil office…
If you've ever had to place a symbol on a drawing more than three times, you've probably wondered, "I wish I didn't have to keep clicking on the symbol every time I want to place it." I have great news for you 😀 The Reuse Tools option keeps that tool selected for placing as many instances of a symbol as you need! There are…
Did you know that double-clicking a Bluebeam Revu Profile (.bpx file) automatically opens Revu and imports the profile for you? This is the quickest and easiest way to have a User import a Profile. It is a very low impact for our non-technical friends and co-workers. 😅 It is much better than explaining how to click the…
I would like another option for locking that allows for a shapes dimensions to be locked, but still be able to move the shape / sketch around. An example of this would be a toggle for "dimension lock" where I could trace the outline of a building and rotate / move it around a site or property without accidentally changing…
I know that Bluebeam makes it difficult to select a markup that is under another markup—try selecting a markup four levels deep! BUT! I ran a demo today, and a 💡 went off in my head. Can I make a Keyboard Shortcut from the R21.2 Hide selected markup feature and use it to quickly hide obscuring markups to get to the markup…
Would it be possible to create an additional option under "Manage Toolsets" to edit the columns in the Tool Chest? Such as renaming or disabling which ones are not used. And that the columns are also extended as soon as they are extended to the right and do not become narrower again
