JavaScript option feature update request
By default, as a company, we disable JavaScript due to its potential malicious misuse. Bluebeam offers an entry in the RevuPreferences.xml to disable it on first run, however the user is able to re-enable it. When a user runs a PDF containing JavaScript, they receive a popup window that states: “This document contains…

Single Click Toolbox Subject Head to Expand
BB: Can you go back to single click of the toolbox category header instead of a double click? For as much as we open and close these, not sure why you changed it.

Tool Set Management for Multiple Users
The current method for distributing shared Tool Sets is inefficient, as it necessitates manual user intervention following each update; users must be individually notified and then import the updated sets themselves. A more robust solution would involve hosting Tool Sets in a centralised repository that Revu can poll or…

Stapler feature - allow using file name as page label
Here's an idea - use the features you already have in the most common way I see people staple PDFs to create a single file. Currently, you can only select "Use file name as page label" if you combine PDFs inside of Bluebeam. If you use the stapler, that option does not exist. The result - combined PDF sets uploaded to a…

Arcs with Leaders
As the title suggest, it would be nice and almost necessary to include leaders in the default ARC tool rather than having to create a polyline, convert to arc, drag grips, etc, to simulate this.

Enhance performance of automark for scanned PDF drawing
A bunch of scanned drawings were obtained and processed with OCR. As it is hard to control how the printer scans the drawings, the drawings will not be aligned. It would be great to include a function to align drawings based on the title block. So when the users run the automark function by selected region, the accuracy…

New Method to Draw Curves (Using Perimeter Tool)
I know this might seem like a slightly Niche idea, however, when marking up a drawing using the perimeter tool - converting lines to arcs is slightly time consuming in my opinion. An alternative method of drawing curves would be to create multiple control points forming the curve - once again quite time consuming. My Idea…

Feature Request: Add Area to Properties Panel
It's pretty simple. It seems pretty intuitive. There should be a field under properties that displays the enclosed area of the selected polygon. If the scale is set, that field should display the scaled area of the polygon. We shouldn't have to retrace existing polygons to calculate area. Please, and thank you. A value-add…

Ipad Bluebeam Studio App - Checkin/Checkout available for non-pdf documents
The desktop version of bluebeam already allows for non-pdf file types to be checked in and out of Bluebeam Studio Folders (for example, and excel spreadsheet). Offering the same feature for the iPad App would allow Superintendents on the field to utilize excel spreadsheets to track equipment rentals and other useful…

Revu for Mac
I’ve used BB Revu for nearly 20 years and it is an important tool in my architectural practice. Recently, we decided to move over To Apple MacBook Pro laptops because the other hardware being used in the office is Apple's. While I knew some software would not be available on Apple Macs, I was surprised that there was no…

Under the Measurement Tool, make the standard foot symbol (') an option instead of "ft"
The Bluebeam measurement tool will give you options such as the following: In feet: e.g. 234.34 ft. In yards: e.g. 34.5 yd. In inches it is, e.g., 168 1/2" or 168.4 in (for inches there are two options). In feet and inches: e.g. 23'-10". That is all well and good, but can you please add an option for feet (decimal feet)…

Align to Segment
I often find that when I insert a tool, e.g., a rectangle of a specific size, in the corner of a room, the dimensions can be hard to read, as these values are placed along the line of the wall when the rectangle snaps to this area. It would be great to be able to offset the segment value so that it appears inside the…

Revu\Preferences\General\Spelling\Enable Auto-Complete\Manage - Adjustable size window
Hi BB, Please make above window adjustable in size. I use fairly lengthy descriptions from our Winest estimating database (which has a max text length of 127 characters). Every now and again, I clear out the auto-complete list to remove any unwanted/incorrect entries however this is extremely time consuming as I have to…

Markup Status Settings - Drastic UI Improvements needed
So after using Bluebeam on and off at several Architecture and Engineering firms I keep coming back to major adoption issues with Revu and Studio for internal redlines. Many firms are stuck in the pen and paper mentality of use a highlighter color to "cross out" markups as they are addressed in the redline/QAQC stage. They…

Tool Chest UX regressions
You used to be able to click the header of a tool set to expand and collapse the set, now you must click the arrow Additionally, you used to be able to see the color of tools in properties mode when the set is in Detail view; now the color only appears in symbol view
